DLD was founded on the simple belief that good design improves people’s homes and ultimately their lives. With each project we strive to create beautiful spaces that uplift you, shift your daily patterns, and activate rooms that may not have been used for years, if ever. |

Lean and, well, friendly
Yes, we are designers, but, lucky for you, we are nerds too. We have worked hard to create a small firm that treats you like a big wig. Over the years we've focused on a myriad of ways to make your experience smoother, easier, and less stressful.
What does that look like to you?
What does that look like to you?
We Love Technology
A simple payment schedule with equal monthly payments, for example, with easy, one-click online payments. An automated email sequence covering key details and features of the design process so you know what's coming and what your responsibilities are. A light-touch calendar portal that allows you to quickly and easily schedule a call, video conference, or project meeting,
What you don't see is just as important.
We have worked hard to design our internal operations - the necessary systems, templates, documents, and best practices - to effectively and consistently deliver beautiful, high-quality projects. As we've grown, we've focused on efficiency, technology, and a lean operating structure to keep costs well-managed and to increase the odds that your project is both beautiful and successful.
Remote Team Structure
We've chosen, for example, not to carry the overhead costs of a design office and large staff; instead, our team members work out of home offices, connected to each other remotely. Our business model is highly efficient and infinitely scalable with the necessary resources needed to grow with your project.

Over 90% of the cost of working with DLD covers time spent designing, drawing, documenting, and managing your project. You pay for our talent and expertise, not our fancy lobby or office kitchen.

Core Values
We highlight our core values to offer you insight on the attributes that structure each step of our process, all with the intent of delivering a successful project tailored just for you. Although each project we design is unique, our design process is highly regimented and rigorously refined, with each phase of the design process guided by our core values.
Here are the primary principles that guide our decision-making and our house-making.
Deliver Joy & Create Beauty
It all starts here, and the rest follows. Joy and beauty are what we aim to deliver in each and every project. We are committed to making beautiful spaces that support and uplift those who inhabit them.
Focus on Homeowners
Home improvement projects are byproducts of a family’s needs, aspirations, or frustrations and, as such, are reflections of the homeowner. People are intimately linked to their homes - to improve homes is to improve lives.
Design is Powerful
We believe in the power of good design to transform lives by improving homes. Beautiful design is smart, efficient, and poetic and is developed through rigorous and repeated exploration.
Empathy & Efficiency
We recognize the stress and disruption homeowners feel during a home improvement project. We work diligently to reduce these feelings by designing and developing complete and accurate construction drawings, which speed the permitting and construction process, and expedite the construction timeline.
Teamwork & Collaboration
We work together with all team members to meet the needs of our customers and to help us improve our firm and how we deliver projects.
Good Citizenship
We are passionate about improving the value of older homes and the vibrancy of urban neighborhoods. We are stewards for our communities.
Constant Improvement
We are always learning, always improving our process, our design approach, and the technology we use with the goal of being experts in our field.
