Philosophy

Leisure is a collaborative of design professionals and artists in the fields of architecture, engineering, interiors, graphic design, merchandising, and environmental graphics.

Leisure does not specialize in a particular niche of the design world. We believe all design, from a corporate identity to a ground-up building, is the process of artistic problem solving. The same inquiries and experimentation involved in creating a piece of furniture are necessary in the design of a retail storefront.

Leisure has focused on developing a process which results in innovative, transformative design. We work to actively blur the boundaries of traditional disciplines fusing architecture, behavioral psychology, industrial, interior and graphic design. We strive to maintain a childlike curiosity as we approach each project. This inquisitiveness coupled with the expertise of leading design from concept through fruition defines our process.
