What Atelier Rita Abou Chahla Inc. does

Atelier Rita Abou Chahla Inc. operates a creative studio under the trade names San Rita and Atelier San Rita, formally incorporated in 2024 and headquartered in Montreal with additional offices in San Francisco and Paris. The studio delivers an integrated service portfolio across three pillars — Digital Experience Services (product design, websites and platforms, headless e-commerce, immersive experiences, motion and micro-interactions), Branding and Content Services (brand identity design, art direction, visual systems, photo and video production, social content and campaigns), and Strategy Services (brand positioning, digital strategy, UX strategy, content and storytelling strategy). Technical delivery is built on a modern headless stack including Shopify for e-commerce, DatoCMS for content management, Vercel for deployment, and Turso for database, presented as a "fast, flexible, future-proof ecosystem."

The business operates as a boutique creative agency on a project-based professional services model, with no public pricing and engagement initiated through direct outreach and inbound inquiries via the website contact form and email. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with organic social channels (Instagram, LinkedIn) and the website portfolio serving as the primary marketing surface. The core team of approximately ten specialists — co-founders Julien (Creative Director) and Alexis (Design Director), plus Partner Martin Thienpont, Head of Technology Valentin Py, Senior Creative Developer Sébastien Lempens, Event Manager Alysée Adrian, Illustrator/Graphic Designer Anthony Morell, and Creative Technologist Benoit Delorme, supported by a freelancer collective — covers design, development, art direction, and content creation.

The customer base spans SMBs, startups, and enterprise clients across at least seven verticals including music/audio, fashion, agriculture/local food, gaming, lifestyle/cannabis, and media production. Named engagements include Precision Record Pressing, Podium Global, Alexis Jay, S.R.W, Agriculture du coin, Play Lü, GZNA, and Elder Grown. Note on firmographics: a brief description in the source data refers to bespoke bridal couture, Italian footwear, and fashion illustrations under the Atelier Rita Abou Chahla name, but the substantial majority of source material — including the studio's own website, team bios, project portfolio, and company history — describes a digital creative studio; this analysis reflects the operating business evidenced by the studio's own materials.
