Founded in 1997 by CEO Maria Giudice, Hot Studio was initially conceived as a collective of “really smart people.” In time, our collective grew from a two-person outfit specializing in graphic design and information architecture into a full service experience design company with nearly 80 employees, offices in San Francisco and New York City, and hundreds of clients ranging from Fortune 500 mainstays to startups to community-focused organizations. Ultimately offering services in design, strategy and technology, we helped our clients see and build the future.
A hallmark of Hot Studio was our people-centered approach. We emphasized collaboration in all aspects of our work: everyone, regardless of their discipline or title at Hot, had creative input, and we actively included clients in the creative process. We prided ourselves on being fun and easy to work with, on being true partners in helping our clients realize their goals. In every engagement, we strove to help make the world a better place through our work.
