DesignFORMATION is a multi-disciplinary design firm founded in February 1999 from the convergence of three design professions: Architectural Design, Graphic Design and Interface Design. We recognize that information and design technologies are transforming design practice and enriching the design process by revealing new opportunities for collaboration. The majority of our projects are developed from design through production in-house under the direction of one of our design professionals. When required, our network of consultants are carefully selected to match technical expertise with project requirements. Each design team is selected to balance technical expertise with creative vision. Each member of our team brings unique skills and perspectives that contribute to a creative dialogue that pushes the boundaries of design and technology. To that end, we welcome opportunities to expand and diversify our team.
