Hi, I'm Annamarie, founder of Ripple & Rise Studio and your new favorite person to have in your corner.

I've spent over a decade in digital, specializing in UX, working in-house at a variety of companies and agencies where I learned firsthand what it takes to build digital experiences that actually work. Along the way I realized the businesses that needed that expertise the most (small, scrappy, passionate ones) were the least likely to have access to it. So I built Ripple & Rise Studio to change that.

I'm based in Minneapolis and I work with small business owners who have poured everything into what they do and deserve a website that shows it. I bring big-picture strategic thinking and a sharp eye for design to every project without the big agency price tag, runaround, or disappearing act after launch.

When I'm not designing websites, I'm at the gym chasing goals, attempting DIY house projects with my husband, or being followed around by my adorable, opinionated chief of staff, Grizzy 🐾

I genuinely love this work. And I'd love to hear about yours.
