Raoul Rickenberg, PhD
Rickenberg has been helping clients understand how they can use different media to meet their objectives for over a decade. His ability to tailor mediated experiences in ways that align user expectations with client objectives rests on an unusual combination of skills. In addition to years of experience as an information architect and interface designer, Rickenberg has a background in academic research that enables him to uncover what, specifically, the people for whom he is designing desire and how best to meet their goals.

Before founding MAPstudios, Rickenberg was the Director of Experience Design for a Stanford Research Institute venture. Prior to that, he was Creative Director at vivid studios, where he developed a practice area that focused on the integration of research and design. Rickenberg has also taught courses on human-computer interaction and communication at Stanford University and he is currently on the faculty of Parsons School of Design, where his research and teaching focus on the socio-technical systems that underlie processes of design and how these systems evolve as new technologies are adopted. Articles on this work have been published in leading academic journals.

Rickenberg holds a PhD in Communication and an MA in Media Studies from Stanford University. He also earned a BFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design.
