Hello

We design things for pixels and paper. We take interesting ideas and turn them into exceptional web sites and memorable print.

Launched in San Francisco during the summer of 1999, Rocket Science Studio embarked on a mission to explore great design in print and web technology. Along the way, we learned a few things, designed some pretty good work, met some interesting people and won a few awards. Most importantly, we found something we like to do. And that’s important. When you like what you do, you do good work.

Give us a buzz if you have a project in mind or if you just want to learn more about what we do.

Mac Tech Support

We practically sleep with our Macs, so you might as well have a friend with benefits. We use our Macs daily to perform the same work you do and we’re happy to share our knowledge with you. We tailor our support only to small, creative businesses using Macs, so we won’t scare you off with corporate IT talk. If you need advice on how to share files with co-workers, need a backup solution, need to network your Macs and connect them to the internet, want to know how a server can benefit you or have general questions about your Macs and network, give us a call.

Call (415) 861-3738 or send a message.
