Design Collaborative
At Design Collaborative, we strive to redefine architecture and engineering for a changing world. We're architects, engineers, interior designers, and graphic designers - an expert group of problem solvers who value teamwork, guidance, and originality. Since we were founded in 1992, we have been located in downtown Fort Wayne, Indiana, focusing on the higher education, healthcare, and corporate markets across the nation. We work best with clients that value relationships as much as buildings, and our goal is to make life better for the people who live, work, play, learn, heal, or worship inside those buildings.
