We believe that everything we make must be effective, beautiful, and a joy to interact with. That is Design Made Human.

We help our clients see themselves through the eyes of the people they are trying to reach. Then we design something amazing. At the end of the day, we believe that being thoughtful people and making considerate work will lead to effective partnerships, and successful outcomes for our clients. Design Made Human Principals: Attentiveness Identify and consider the people who benefit from your product, including you. Acknowledgement Imagine an innovative solution that fits the many needs and goals of those people. Accommodation Design a solution that meets those needs and stands out for its beauty and ease of use. The bespoke activity set we develop for each engagement contains a series of workshops and exercises chosen to help gain insight or test a hypothesis that we or our clients might have. The help that we provide often takes the form of a website, mobile app, digital platform, or brand identity. If we think that the best solution is a piece of paper, then that is what we will propose. Regardless of the challenge we are tasked with, or the thing we have been asked to make, we start by considering the perspectives of people. Our clients are people, their audience members are people (mostly), and so we arrive at our maxim: Design Made Human™. Because our design process deeply considers people before creating solutions, it feels a bit disingenuous to define a process that applies to all relationships. Acknowledging that, our framework grounds our thinking, and allows us to create a unique activity set for every client. We are constantly thinking about how to best communicate what it is that we do, and the unique way in which we approach our work. We make websites, sure, but is Rainfall a website design company? Not exactly. We also make brand identities, but are designers at Rainfall a logo designers? Kind of. If we really wanted to distill what we do down to a sentence, we help businesses achieve their goals by deeply exploring the space where their needs and desires intersect with the needs and desires of their audience members.

Often referred to as “The Artists’ Republic of Fremont.” Our office sits right at the water’s edge, meaning that ships, boats, and barges are constant sight. With views of Lake Union and the downtown skyline, this is a great neighborhood in which to work and play.
