THE STUDIO
Ripe was created in 1998 in Albuquerque, New Mexico by partners Donna and Len Romano—transplants looking for a place to put down roots. New Mexico enchanted us with its creative people and incredible outdoor beauty. As it does to this day.

Ripe is a disruptive branding firm. A dynamic team of creative thinkers, passionate designers and brand strategists. We help businesses with an emerging or evolving brand unleash its power—increasing their market awareness. How? With an impactful, integrated system of design, messaging and marketing tools. Our work is transformational—taking motivated companies to a higher level.
Ripe is situated on historic Route 66, in the heart of Albuquerque's West Downtown. We are inspired by the high desert’s flora, fauna, and landscapes. But what really excites us are passionate people and maverick thinking. So, our studio is a constant buzz of creativity—a place where clients, vendors, neighbors and friends come to share ideas and build community.
Our passion is reflected in the causes we support. We hold Albuquerque close to our hearts and are honored to have dedicated our time and services to numerous community projects and organizations. From facilitating the vibrant mural at Washington Middle School, to supporting New Day Youth and Family Services, the West Downtown Business Group, and the Downtown Growers’ and Rail Yards Markets, we are proud to give back to the community we love.
