Shaping the future of Immersive Technology

Refract Studio is a creative technology studio specializing in emerging technology design, prototyping, development, and strategy—particularly in augmented reality. We collaborate with leading brands, cultural institutions, and city arts departments, including Snap Inc., Google, and the Arts and Culture Departments of Santa Fe and Albuquerque, to craft immersive experiences that bridge the digital and physical worlds. Our team blends expertise in art, design, engineering, and storytelling, with a particular passion for uncovering new ways to engage with history through cutting-edge technology, and finding practical applications for new technologies.

Our founders bring experience from industry leaders like Apple and Meow Wolf, and our work has been recognized with awards at institutions like MIT. We are a prototype-driven studio, working closely with clients to iterate quickly, test ideas, and push the boundaries of what's possible. Whether developing interactive installations, AR experiences, or innovative digital tools, we focus on creating practical applications for emerging technology that offer real-world impact.
