Portobella Rain

Welcome

The aim is to provide creative interpretations that maximise business needs. The web design, graphic design and architectural services on offer allow the visions that clients have to be created - and in the process, create the feeling that they "are involved".

The studio was started by Ben Segni in 2009 shortly after the completion of the Cook Conservatory Design Project. The project allowed a home owner to build their conservatory from scratch and the enjoyment this project brought started Portobella Rain Creative Design Solutions. It has now featured on international design web site, Eyeka "New Media, New Talent" with work for Calvin Klein. Additionally, after just one week of entering, the studio has rocketed into the top 400 of 24,000 on the on-line multimedia design arena, Design Crowd.

Welcome to Portobella Rain Creative Design Solutions, the small design studio with big ambitions.
