About
STG Design is a dynamic company with an integrated approach to architecture, interior design, and master planning. Our staff has considerable experience providing successful planning and design solutions through localized expertise complemented by a global perspective. Founded in 1976, STG Design is the result of an evolving and growing company becoming one of the nation’s leading companies committed to design in a multitude of disciplines.
We are always ready to respond and to develop thoughtful, innovative solutions. From developers to managers, contractors, and city officials, our team will coordinate, lead, and smooth out this process. One of our biggest, and most telling, accomplishments is the percentage of our work that is with repeat clients. Along with our focus on client-centric design, we are also able to maintain client satisfaction and project success by our deep understanding of and adherence to budget, schedule, and scope.
We believe every experience holds the potential to inspire greatness and shape a better future. Through our passionate, collaborative, and responsible approach, we aim to design environments that encourage people to be their best, strengthen the fabric of our communities, and champion an equitable, resilient world.
Vision
Our vision identifies where we’re going and our goal. We believe that our purpose isn’t just to create beautiful, effective, efficient designs, but to create experiences that improve lives.
Creating transformative experiences with you, for you. As people live and work in the buildings and spaces we’ve created, we want them to feel that their day-to-day has been transformed. Our goal is to enhance our client’s ability to achieve their goals—whether that is to attract clients, retain employees, increase efficiency, or inspire their team. We want to be intentional in prioritizing these experiences—for internal and external clients—and create lasting relationships that make us extraordinary partners.
Our spirit of improvement is deliberate and extends beyond our physical projects to our processes and relationships. Within our own office, the way we work with, challenge, and coach each other is intentional. Whether we’re talking about a visioning session with a client, working through a detail with consultants and contractors, or refining an in-house process with our staff, we can’t deliver true success unless everyone is engaged.
To fulfill our Vision, we need to deeply understand our clients—who they are, how they work, what success looks like to them and what is important for their future. This is how we get there:
We immerse ourselves in community, methodology, and goals—forming a shared culture of curiosity, discovering success, and inspiring passion for what is important to our clients.
During the information-gathering process, we strengthen our connection with the client by getting them invested in the process, excited about what’s in store, and fully engaged in collaborating. This rapport enables us to have candid conversations about what drives them and what success means for the whole team.
Once we understand what success looks like, we can leverage our expertise more effectively to tailor our approach to their goals. When we’re excited by the work our clients do, we discover our most targeted, engaging, and dynamic designs that inspire a renewed excitement for our clients.
Mission
Culture
STG Design has prospered for more than four decades because the communities where we live and work have nurtured our growth. We are committed to giving back, not only through philanthropy and volunteer service but also through the daily conduct of ethical, respectful business practices. Core values, good corporate governance, and integrity in our relationships built a bedrock foundation for STG Design.
Throughout our history, STG Design has watched our cities grow, contributing to civic impact and diverse patterns of community life. Our goal is to enrich the urban identity and promote sustainable urbanization.
Day in and day out, we support causes our team members support through STG Gives, a program to recognize and encourage our people’s volunteer involvement and charitable giving. In ways large and small, through volunteering and in-kind services, STG Design gives generously of our time, talent, and treasure to the following organizations:
Community
Our belief is simple yet profound: Community is for all. In every project, our diverse team collaborates with clients and partners to craft spaces that transcend boundaries and embody the spirit of inclusivity. We're not just building structures or planning spaces; we're cultivating environments where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.
In our pursuit of design excellence, equity, diversity, and inclusion take center stage. We don't just embrace differences; we celebrate them. From the richness of age and cultural diversity to the tapestry of gender identities, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, religions, experiences, and thoughts – these are the vibrant hues that paint our canvas of creativity and elevate STG Design to new heights.
Step into our world, where every perspective is not only welcomed but intentionally considered. Here, diversity isn't just a checkbox; it's the heartbeat of our creativity. An inclusive environment isn't a goal; it's our reality, adding immeasurable value to our firm, our clients, and the communities we are honored to serve. Join us on this transformative journey as we design a future free from bias and inequity, where diversity isn't just acknowledged – it's celebrated.
To achieve these goals, we have a dedicated group called Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). Our EDI group focuses on three key areas: Culture, Community, and Talent. We promote a culture of innovation and inclusion where all employees feel respected and valued as their authentic selves. We strive to positively impact our industry by increasing awareness of the architecture and design field in diverse communities. And, we encourage leadership development and promote equality and racial awareness with the development, retention, and advancement of our employees.
