Torii Studio

Torii Studio is a New York product studio that designs and builds web software for start-ups and growth companies. Its work covers consulting, UX and UI design, motion design, front-end engineering and AI. The founder is Cristobal Chao, a software engineer and UX specialist who previously worked at Google.

On the AI side, the studio builds production systems that range from large language model integrations to agentic workflows and generative features. Published projects include a natural-language interface that lets lab scientists direct robotic experiments for Medra, and a no-code research terminal with built-in AI chat for tracking digital finance data for Artemis. For Negosh, it built a visual canvas that suggests brand and licensee matches using AI-generated imagery.

The studio also does design-led product work with no AI component, such as interfaces and motion design for health, education, sports and data products. It lists OpenAI and Google among its partners, and it works with Medra, Artemis and Capchase.

Clients typically bring an early product idea or a manual process, and the studio takes it through design and development to a working web application. This suits teams that want one small group to own strategy, interface and code rather than split the work across vendors.
