Designing a better, more beautiful world since 1935.
Our Designer Spotlight Series highlights some of our top talent from around the world, diving into our team’s creative philosophies and design ethos. This month, we talk to design director and principal of our Dallas studio, Ron Stelmarski. He discusses his modes of creative expression, from photography and cinema, to his personal sketchbooks, and how he finds the soul of each site.
Last week, we watched in horror as heightened anti-Asian racism around the world culminated in a murder spree targeting women of Asian descent in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a stark reminder of the hatred and xenophobia that has plagued our communities for decades—and of the pain and fear felt by our Asian colleagues, clients, friends, and family every single day. On the heels of a racially turbulent 2020, it also brought to the fore, yet again, the harrowing truth about racism: It is real, and it is deadly.
We know words alone won’t change the world. But we also know words matter—especially in hurtful moments.
