For 13 years, we provided design and development services for an A-list of clients.

Riser provided design and development services that delivered innovative marketing experiences for our customers which included Disney, Google, NBC, ABC, National Geographic, Warner Bros. and a host of others. The company’s primary competency was design as it was built upon my personal core expertise. Throughout Riser’s tenure, I was fortunate to employ a staff of talented programmers that helped Riser expand its service offering. Over the course of more than 1,600 projects, we successfully executed on websites, online games, banner ads, print marketing, experiential design, mobile apps, trade show and expo signage, traditional advertising and video projects.

The Studio
—

Riser’s first studio was in the basement of the cheapest office space I could find about a mile from my home in Utah (I had some financial paranoia). We quickly outgrew that space and I purchased a small office in 2007 that we made work for a few more years of growth. I purchased the shell of our final studio at the end of 2011 and then proceeded to micro-manage the design and build out of the space throughout the early part of 2012 until we moved in. I focused on creating a unique, collaborative, and fun environment where our team can work hard and play hard. The studio became a giant 3D sculpture project for me as I designed the floor plan, colors, textures, desk configurations, kitchen cabinetry, fixtures, front desk, conference table, wall art and signage.
