Who we are

More than 65 years ago, we opened our doors as a one-man industrial design firm in Central New York. With a fresh degree from a leading institution, the easy thing for our founder to do would have been to join a big firm in a big city.

But where s the fun in easy?

We scraped. We hustled. We hired. And we grew. A lot. Seriously, a lot. With each request from our clients, we expanded what we made: from products to packaging to retail merchandising to full retail categories, departments, and total stores to in-person experiences like events, pop-ups, and tradeshows to cutting-edge, confidential innovation centers to public brand experiences and flagships to websites, apps, and e-commerce optimizations to fully realized virtual environments and beyond.

Today, we re the secret weapon to countless global innovators a leading strategic design consultancy with offices in Syracuse, Cincinnati, Detroit, and New York City, and reach that extends around the globe through our FutureBrand family. Through the unique combination of the insight and strategy expertise of a management consulting firm, the creativity of world-class storytellers and design innovators, and the rapid, in-context prototyping of a manufacturer we ve become indispensable partners to some of the world's best clients.

We make what should be, creating transformative brand experiences that work for a living, using a totally original synergy of behavioral design thinking and creative brand expression.

And we measure ourselves by tangible design solutions on the street, not awards on the walls.

Who you are

You're humble.

Confident in who you are and what you're capable of, but equally aware of how you can learn from others and continue to improve.

You re agile.

Aware that work like ours takes myriad different forms and paths, unexpectedly shifts on a dime, and requires flexible thinking and working plus an unassailably optimistic mindset and you re here for it.

You excel at your craft.

Passionate and completely invested in the work you do and driven to do what it takes to make it stand above and constantly improve.

You're collaborative.

Excited by the prospect of coming together with co-workers, clients, and other partners to turn individual talents into extraordinary collective accomplishments by leveraging the diverse cross-pollination of perspectives and talents.

Most importantly, you're uniquely, unabashedly, unashamedly you.

There is no singular path to a career at ChaseDesign. No formula for the perfect strategic design consultant. Because it's our differences in background and perspective that make us and the work, we do stronger, more effective, and more meaningful.
