Summary

Based in San Francisco – and with offices in Los Angeles and New York – Rapt Studio designs cohesive and elegant user experiences for the globe’s top brands, including VF Corporation, IBM, Google, Turner Broadcasting, Dropbox and Fender. The practice specializes in design for both the built environment and the digital world. We believe that design-thinking is a unique tool that helps us solve our clients individual challenges -- It’s about using design to bring meaningful spaces, brands, cultures and technologies together. For RAPT, design that innovates and solves real business needs comes from taking a unique approach to the way its designers create. It’s an inside-out philosophy based on the understanding developed through long-term client relationships. “Far too often, designers set about to solve a problem that they haven’t bothered to fully define,” said Galullo. “We spend time defining the problem and identifying the unique culture of the client within which the solution will live. Sounds obvious, but it’s not.” Rapt Studio’s cross-disciplinary teams include talented designers with different backgrounds and expertise, e.g., interior designers, architects, graphic, user experience/interface and industrial designers. This provides a cohesive and seamless design offering for clients looking to integrate different creative solutions without having to contract multiple firms.
