OUR VALUES
Over her 20-year career in design, Sarah has worked with organizations large and small to help them creatively engage with their audiences and make a bigger impact.
Sarah founded Studio Rainwater ten years ago after working as a designer and art director in New York and Los Angeles designing for the Guggenheim Museum, Sony, Four Seasons, Paramount Pictures, Time Warner, Reebok and Honda among many others.
She has leveraged this experience in for- and non-profit design and branding to understand how art, technology, and design can forge meaningful human connections and inspire positive change in the world.
Willow studied graphic design and web development at Johnson & Wales University. Her passion lies in using design to create good in the world and moments of wonder.
She manages all of the studio’s digital projects to ensure that the design always translates from concept to final launch.
Growing up, Carol was always making things and taking them apart. She studied Communication Design and worked in New York in advertising before moving to New England to work with her hands building and designing boats.
At Studio Rainwater, Carol supports our team’s day-to-day operations to make sure all our projects run smoothly.
Creative curiosity drives us to dig deep and uncover insights and trends that may be hiding in plain sight. Partner with our team of big thinkers to shape a strategy that will set you apart, drive business growth, and create a lasting impact.
Before the age of twelve, Sarah had transferred to six different schools prompting a lifetime of thinking about how to find clarity in chaos. For the same reason, she thrives off a good branding and design challenge.
She attended RISD for graphic design and started her career as an intern at Studio Rainwater and has worked with the agency for 9 years.
Elizabeth studied in Montreal and Amsterdam, before landing in Rhode Island to get her MFA in graphic design at RISD.
She’s passionate about design and education; how we can use conversation to see new ideas; and designing to empower.
