Who we are
Riptide have been making immersive, interactive and digital experiences from Leeds since 2014. We put the audience at the heart of the work and build it with the technology they already carry.
We are pioneers of care: ITC rates as standard, free mental health support for every artist and freelancer on an opt-out basis, and a trained mental health first aider on every project.
