Designs Direct Creative Group
Our story started out with our owners meeting by chance. It’s a long story, but you should ask us over coffee sometime. To make our long story short, the mixture of backgrounds between our owners created the perfect partnership for Designs Direct Creative Group to thrive. Launched in 2002, we started out as two guys in a truck delivering our vision of affordable artwork to more people across the United States. Our vision hasn’t changed, but we’ve developed our operations into a world class organization as a leading home decor supplier. Today we’ve grown into a company with diverse products and services, such as trend-spotting and merchandising consultations. Our current offices in Covington, KY (USA) and Hangzhou, Fuzhou, and Dongguan (China) house creative talent and knowledgeable product quality and safety assets to bring our customers the best service and superior designs for an exceptional value.
