Knowing is half the battle.

Each new project gives us something new to explore. We get to know your business, your ideas, and your audiences. We dive in deep and learn about every aspect of your project. In depth knowledge gives us the ability to translate your message into meaningful visual design. Before we design a middle school brochure we talk to real students. Before we design a restaurant website we eat. Before we design a window display we walk and we shop. Our personal experience-driven process creates quality designs that are as unique as the clients we represent.

With great power comes great responsibility. Our work with NPCA connects people to the wonder of America’s national parks. Designs for fashion and retail capture attention with fresh aesthetics. Art events such as ‘Red, White, and Pie’ bring joy and transform expectations. A thoughtful, usable website for Pacific Crest School saves trees and time. We see every project as an opportunity to meet new people, learn new things, and exceed expectations.

Blank Space was founded in 2006 as an art gallery and design studio. Our first studio was in the 619 Arts Building in Pioneer Square, the vibrant community helped shaped our creative endeavor. We connected with fine artists, master craft-persons, technical experts, and great friends. After years of steady growth, our design studio began to eclipse the art gallery. In 2009 we closed the art gallery, and relocated our thriving studio to Capitol Hill.

Blank Space is owned and operated by:

Co-founder, President

I am a people-person, I thrive on interaction. Blank Space gives me the opportunity to really get to know the people I work with and that communication forms the basis for fun, meaningful design. Our wide variety of clients and projects is very freeing. Whether I am building a wooden caterpillar installation, creating a new identity design, or drawing an illustration of Mount Rainier I approach each project with enthusiasm. On sunny Seattle days I enjoy a good hike, and I recently started training for a triathlon.

Riley Raker

Co-founder, Super President

Since I was young, I’ve loved art and technology. My first Photoshop was 4.0, my first computer was floppy-based DOS. I grew up with art lessons and trips to museums. I’ve always loved to take things apart, as a kid our neighbors called me ‘Why-ley’. My career in design is an extension of the things I enjoy in life. Everyday I get to solve problems, create beauty, and use technology—I am incredibly lucky.
