Named for Chicago's iconic grid system and the Bauhaus principle that beauty emerges from function, we approach every digital product with the same combination of structural thinking and artisanal craft.

Gridhaus Studio was founded in 2025 by Anna Rangos and Mars Tovar, with backgrounds spanning Apple, YouTube, Google, ShopRunner, FOLX Health and Weber Shandwick. Today they build brand and product systems for Series A-B tech, fintech and healthcare companies from Chicago.
I'm Co-Founder and CEO of Gridhaus Studio, with over a decade of experience leading digital campaigns, content strategy, and community engagement for B2B SaaS companies, global brands, and mission-driven organizations. My work blends creativity with data, helping brands connect with their audiences in ways that feel human, timely, and rooted in impact. I’ve led award-winning social strategies, built influencer and thought leadership programs from the ground up, and developed scalable content systems that support both growth and brand consistency. I bring cross-functional experience partnering with product, marketing, and engineering teams to translate complex value propositions into clear, compelling narratives. I believe the best marketing lives at the intersection of insight and emotion, where storytelling drives results. Outside of client work, I write about technology, digital culture, and lifestyle, exploring the intersections of tech, style, and self-expression.
LinkedIn ↗I'm Co-Founder and Creative Director of Gridhaus Studio. I've spent over 16 years creating impactful digital experiences for brands like Google, Microsoft, and VMware, from bringing the Reading Rainbow App to life to collaborating with teams at YouTube and Apple. What drives me is finding that perfect intersection where emerging technology meets genuinely meaningful human experiences. I've led award-winning creative teams at Weber Shandwick SF and ShopRunner, where we completely reimagined their brand identity and design system from scratch. Most recently, I was Principal Product Designer at FOLX Health.
My work has been recognized with Webbys, Shorty Awards, Cannes Young Lions, IGN Best of E3, and a few Key Art Awards. When I'm not at Gridhaus Studio, I co-organize Chicago's Queer Tech Club. I'm always ready for conversations about making tech more equitable and building digital experiences that genuinely excite and empower people.
because great products, much like great Chicago foods, require the right ingredients, proper technique, and attention to every detail.

We're not an agency adapting old methods to new mediums.
While agencies focus on delivering campaigns and moving on, we approach every engagement with a product mindset. We understand that digital products need to evolve continuously based on user feedback, market changes, and technical advances. Our solutions are built for iteration, not just implementation.
While agencies are still adapting to yesterday's digital shifts, we're already building with tomorrow's tools. Our team has deep expertise in AI-driven workflows and emerging technologies, positioning us at the forefront of the digital ecosystem. We don't just use new tech, we help shape how it transforms the industry.
