Our Firm Ripple Design Studio, headed by Jim Dearth, is an energetic, Seattle-based design firm dedicated to excellence in every aspect of our versatile practice. Our experience and expertise enable a service-oriented and cost-conscious design process, culminating in beautiful projects and delighted clients.
Our Philosophy We are inspired to create an architecture of consequence. We commit ourselves to designing with integrity, remaining faithful to each project’s unique and central design intentions, and guiding these intentions throughout the course of our work. Through this passionate commitment, we aspire to influence our design community to practice with the same level of conviction and veracity.
On Green Design In an emerging culture promoting sacrifice to be green, Ripple Design Studio advocates that environmental responsibility can only be successful when it is a benefit rather than an obstacle. As LEED Accredited Professionals, we promote thoughtful green design while refusing to surrender our vision of the project as a whole.
