DesignLeveL believes that buildings define cultures, embody values, express interests, and represent time. We realize that while buildings must function for their intended use, they also can have powerful emotional effects on those who interact and work within them - and these effects may be subconscious or visceral. We work with a thoughtful intelligence keeping these factors in mind, to create healthy, comforting, and sustainable buildings and spaces that will endure.

We balance listening and leading as guiding principles in order to achieve successful projects that are derived from real collaboration and open communication. By bringing best practices to the table and approaching each project in a customized way, we understand that today more than ever efficiency, flexibility, and smart decisions must be at the top of the priority list.

We work with our clients to plan for flexible future growth, developmental, and functional changes in all of our design efforts. We focus on planning principals that align departmental and strategic initiatives to ensure that operational efficiencies and functional goals are realized.

​DesignLeveL’s integrated approach to planning and design supports the mission and core values of the client and strengthens both life at the respective facility and in the broader community. As of 2023, DesignLeveL has been awarded both EDGE and WBE certification from the state of Ohio, SBA WBE certification by the federal government and is a Woman Owned Business formally recognized by the City of Columbus, Ohio's Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
