Design Associates Inc

We’ve been here at W 13 Sec 12 in No Ida E for a while now. It’s a busy spot and we try to keep things moving. Most days, you’ll find us hunched over desks or looking at floor plans. It isn’t fancy. We have some old chairs and a coffee machine that sometimes works, but it gets us through the morning. People often stop by to talk about their projects, and we just listen. We don’t have a big reception desk or anything like that. It is mostly just stacks of paper and people working on computers. The area around No Ida E is always changing, so there is usually something going on outside our windows. We like being part of this neighborhood. Sometimes the traffic is bad, but we are used to it by now. We handle a lot of the technical side of things here. It takes time to get things right, so we don't rush. We just focus on what is in front of us. If you walk past W 13, you might see us through the window. We’ve got some posters on the walls, mostly stuff from years ago. It feels like home to us. We just keep doing what we do, day in and day out, making sure the work is solid. It’s a job, but we like it well enough.
