Avvenue
About
Creative technology, engineered properly.
Avvenue is a small, specialized creative AI technology studio based in Costa Rica. We design and build interactive AI experiences for brands, agencies and organizations — and the software that makes them work.
Where we sit
- Creativity
- Artificial intelligence
- Software engineering
- Interactive experiences
That intersection is what we do: ideas people can take part in, backed by engineering that holds up when it matters.
How we work
Four things we don't compromise on.
- 01
Start from the people
Design around the audience taking part and the outcome our client needs, then choose the technology.
- 02
Make complex feel simple
Participants should understand what to do in seconds, on any phone, with no instructions.
- 03
Engineer for the live moment
Live experiences don't get a second take. We build for reliability, rehearse the flow and plan for what can go wrong.
- 04
Be honest about AI
We're clear about what AI does well, where people should stay in control, and what is realistic today.
Leadership
Who's behind Avvenue.
Fran Ramírez Founder and Director of Avvenue
Fran Ramírez leads Avvenue with nearly two decades in technology, on projects for companies and brands in Costa Rica, the United States, Canada, France and Brazil.
That experience runs from digital campaigns for global brands to analytics platforms for logistics, tools for human genome sequencing and conversational AI agents for voice and chat. Along the way: leading teams, advising clients and giving talks on how artificial intelligence can help businesses in Costa Rica grow.

Location
From Costa Rica, for Latin America and the United States.
Costa Rica runs on GMT-6 all year, so our working day overlaps with teams from Mexico to South America and with U.S. business hours. We design in Spanish from day one — not as an afterthought translation — and in English with the same care, so experiences can be bilingual when your audience is. We're set up to work remotely with brands and agencies across Latin America and the United States.
