Pursuing self-discovery, inspiration, and connection thorough creativity, curiosity and design for a more whole and integrated, authentic way of being. We help you ride the wave.

Founded by Alma Lacour, Studio Rider is a multi-disciplinary vehicle for creativity and self-exploration. We create tools, products and experiences to individuals and brands alike.

These grounding virtues guide everything we do:

We view life’s experience as a series of waves; what defines us is how we ride. Creativity offers us an opportunity of lifelong self-discovery and practice. Curiosity fuels understanding and connection to self and others. Through tool building and wayfinding, we can design the life we’d like to lead. All beings are born and remain whole, no matter their circumstance.

We are all THE RIDER, and we can learn from each other’s experiences of riding the wave of life.

We are a woman-owned, profit-sharing company that strives to uphold the values of equality and a proud member of 1% for the Planet. We have taken the Anti-Racist Small Business Pledge.
