Design With Purpose. Support With Intention.
Our work doesn’t stop at private homes and businesses. We believe design has a responsibility to support the people, organizations, and spaces that make the Pacific Palisades what it is.
Through Palisades Design Group and our sister initiative Palisades.Support, we create visual systems, educational resources, and design concepts that help neighbors recover, prepare, and thrive.

Why Community Design Matters
Design shapes how we understand, navigate, and feel about the places we live. When information is clear and environments are thoughtfully designed, people feel safer, more connected, and more empowered.
From a single flyer to a neighborhood campaign, every piece of communication is an opportunity to strengthen the community.
