Our interior designers went to Chicago for NeoCon. Based on the photos, we’re about 90% sure they attended NeoCon and 100% sure they had a great time.

All jokes aside, NeoCon is the premier event for commercial interiors and design innovation. Our team spent the week exploring new products, emerging trends, and fresh ideas that will inspire future projects.

They returned energized, creative, and ready to put what they learned into practice. We love investing in experiences that keep our team inspired and our designs evolving.

Nothing better than gathering both offices under one roof — especially when it’s a place we designed. Our firm retreat at the U.S. Marshals Museum was a reminder that great projects are built on great people.
