Astro lives in the heart of San Francisco's SoMa district and on the fringe of Silicon Valley. We embrace a design approach that blends the lifestyle and culture of California as well as the interconnectivity of technology to turn brands and products into relevant, people-focused results.
For over 25 years, we have helped clients and partners transform markets, collaborated with founders to co-create new companies, as well as launched, funded, and fueled a few of our own.
Now as part of PA Consulting, we can offer our clients end-to-end innovation, from user needs and business strategy, through prototyping and development, to manufacturing and launch to market, including incubation and joint R&D.
We turn design thinking into design empowerment and establish a creative habitat for our employees and clients to have the tools to be successful.
“We constantly explore the world, trying to find new and unexpected ways to improve the human experience.”
— Andrew Casden, Insights Director
