Located in Santa Clara, California, in the heart of bio-tech and high-tech innovation, Folio has been completing successful projects for a wide variety of start-up to development stage, to established corporations, consistently accumulating a longer list of satisfied clients. One thing that has remained stable, is the reliability of our team to provide the highest level of quality service for our clients. Choosing to have a serious dedication for the project as a top priority allows us to keep our staff efficient and effective, with an emphasis on high-quality work over high-quantity volume.

We listen very carefully to our clients’ requirements and goals and enjoy the challenge of solving their needs. Our holistic approach to design is augmented by strong technical expertise and a commitment to the clients and users we serve for the best integration of design and functionality. A respect for our clients’ objectives and our responsive attitude enables us to analyze and develop solutions that emphasize high quality design, attention to detail, and strict adherence to budgets and schedules.

All of our work is a result of repeat work or referrals from past clients – a testament to the quality of our work. We pride ourselves in working fast, succeeding on tight schedules and being an appropriately sized firm for quick response and the timely resolution of issues. Our reward and fulfillment is designing spaces that fulfill project requirements, functionally and experimentally, for the people.
