UPTIC STUDIOS

We are a multidisciplinary architecture and design firm dedicated to creating purposeful spaces that elevate the human experience.

UPTIC

Up-tick | noun

A rise or improvement. A change for the better, boost, upswing, upward movement.

Fittingly named during the 2008 recession, Matthew and Julie chose the name Uptic to inspire growth, optimism, and collaboration in a time when many small businesses were losing hope. Today, growth and optimism remain driving themes at Uptic Studios. We have been recognized regionally and nationally by top-tier publications including AIA, Luxe, Dwell Magazine, Contemporist, Mountain Living, Home Adore, and The Spokesman-Review. We are proud of our Northwest roots as we continually expand our design footprint with projects across the country.

Where architecture meets place

Uptic Studios is an innovative, human-centered, multifaceted design collaborative specializing in modern architecture and interior design. Our team works across residential and commercial projects, seamlessly integrating planning, architecture, interior design, and procurement.

We believe good design starts with restraint — letting materiality, light, and site guide every decision rather than trend.

Our Process

Services

01
Planning

Thoughtful design begins with a clear vision. Through research, feasibility studies, strategic planning, and visualization, we explore possibilities and create a strong foundation for what’s to come.

02
Architecture

We design spaces that respond to their site, balancing structure and light to create homes and buildings that feel both grounded and enduring.

03
Interior Design

Our interiors carry the same intention as our architecture, pairing considered materials and spatial planning to make every room feel purposeful.

04
Procurement & Staging

We source, order, and manage every piece of furniture, décor, and art, so the finished space matches the vision down to the last detail. From real estate to events, we style spaces — often with existing pieces — to bring warmth and polish to the finishing touches.
