OurPhilosophy

We believe that good design has a direct and powerful impact on the mental health and physical well-being of those who inhabit it. This idea is at the core of everything we do.

In short, we believe that design matters.


The PTD Approach

We go above
and beyond in
everything we do.

Patrick Thompson Design

We bring a holistic, collaborative approach to each project. The spaces we design are unique to each client, meeting their specific needs while reflecting a shared love of design.

Each project begins with an idea; a distinctive concept or design story for the space. Next, we assemble a core group of designers and creatives who begin our design process—we obsess over details, solve for each problem, and integrate the clients’ needs, visions, and desires.

The project team ensures that creative direction, organization, and productivity are maintained from start to finish, guaranteeing the best possible design solution—one that matters.
