Studio Rayburn

At Studio Rayburn, we are dedicated to creating meaningful experiences through our vision, words, and love of design. Our multi-disciplinary product design and graphic design studio is based in Tacoma, Washington, and has been helping startups and Fortune 500 companies bring their brands and products to life for over 12 years.

Our owner and creative director, Nicole Rayburn, is a seasoned professional with a knack for distilling complex information into compelling visuals and cohesive messages. With a strong background in strategy and user-centered design principles, Nicole has successfully created visual solutions that yield results for her clients. Some of her past clients include Rhapsody, Kodak, Nike, Intel, Microsoft, and Charles Smith Wines.

Nicole is not only a talented creative but also a strategic thinker. She started her career in New York and now calls Tacoma home. She is inspired by art, music, dance, and travel, and her favorite food is anything with green chile, a nod to her upbringing in New Mexico.

Our Process

At Studio Rayburn, we understand the importance of a thorough and thoughtful design process. We believe that design should be driven by empathy and data synthesis to uncover the user's motivations, needs, and goals within the context of their journey.

Our process involves four main stages:

1. Research: We use affinity mapping and user stories to gain a deep understanding of the user's perspective and needs.

2. Design: We harness the power of systems thinking and creativity to design engaging human-centered experiences.

3. Test: We continually test and adjust our designs to ensure they meet the user's needs and goals.

4. Refine: We work in an Agile environment, constantly refining our designs to keep projects on track and in scope.
