About

collaborative by design

clients + purpose first.

Get to know Jericho

Jericho Design Group founder Doug Shaw grew up knowing that if he kept his head down, worked hard, and did what was right, good things would happen. That’s the guiding principle behind our firm today. Every project we do begins with client conversations where we listen for how we can collaborate with you — not only to manage your program, budget, and schedule needs — but also to explore how we might push the boundaries and discover what more is possible.

Every project Jericho Design Group works on is guided by doing what’s right for your particular purpose and situation. That’s why no two of our fire stations, breweries or city halls will be the same. It goes beyond walls and roofs and square footage; Jericho is about creating better experiences for the people who use the spaces we design. Because when you put the client and the purpose first, everything else comes into place.
