RAIN is a full service design team based in Toronto, Canada. We're a small team doing what we love: creating great design for businesses that need to move fast.
Founded in 2016, we've grown carefully and intentionally. We've turned down venture capital, avoided the hire-fast mentality, and said no to projects that didn't align with our values.

Why we do this
We spent years in traditional agencies watching the same problems repeat. Three-month projects that should take three weeks. Revision loops that never end. Talented designers spending more time in meetings than designing.
How we think
We approach every project with three simple questions: What problem are we solving? Who are we solving it for? What's the simplest solution that actually works?
Our philosophy
Good design solves problems. Great design prevents them. We focus on creating digital experiences that work seamlessly and look beautiful doing it.
Our process
Every project starts with listening. We dig deep to understand your business, your challenges, and where you want to go. Then we move fast—strategy in week one, concepts in week two, refinements until it's right.
