2025: A Year Built Together.

As 2025 winds down, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the incredible work accomplished alongside our clients, partners, and the dedicated team at Partners by Design. This year brought bold ideas, meaningful challenges, and inspiring collaborations that strengthened who we are and what we deliver.

Across every market, we shaped environments that bring people together—workplaces that feel welcoming and intuitivespec suites that elevate building identity, and branded spaces that express culture with clarity and intention. Each project reminded us that thoughtful design can spark connection, support well-being, and drive business forward.

This year’s momentum included:

  • Notable project milestones across Chicago and beyond—from transformative HQ renovations to amenity-rich, flexible workplaces. See all of our projects.
  • Recognition from industry peers, highlighting the depth of our design thinking and the impact of our community-focused work.
  • A transition of leadership and values towards a strong, energized studio culture, powered by mentorship, collaboration, and a shared commitment to continuous improvement.

As we look toward 2026, we’re excited to continue designing spaces that support people and empower organizations to thrive.

Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and the opportunities to create environments that matter.
