Join us in celebrating an exciting milestone for two of our team members, Vrindha Vijay and Allison Harms!

Both recently graduated from Leadership Rockford, a program focused on cultivating strong, community-minded leaders. Vrindha, one of our Architectural Designers, and Allison, one of our talented Interior Designers, have shown a remarkable commitment to both personal and professional growth throughout their experience.

We’re proud of their accomplishments and look forward to seeing the continued impact they’ll make. Congratulations!

A special thank you to Mindy Joy Photography for sharing photos from the Leadership Rockford Graduation. We appreciate you helping capture this memorable achievement!

We’re live at the Illinois Association for Housing Authorities Conference!

At LDG, we believe that exceptional design goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about how it supports the people who use it every day. (Although an attractive design certainly adds value!)

This year, we’re adding an engaging element to our presentation: Visit our booth to put your knowledge of famous sitcom settings to the test. Interestingly, many of the most iconic environments are fictional, yet they remain easily identifiable. Do you think you can recognize them all?

Swing by to chat, participate in the quiz, and find out if you have what it takes to be a true sitcom aficionado!

Architectural Designer Jonathan Kaye (.volume) was in Washington, D.C. earlier this month for the 2026 AIA Leadership Summit, joining 587 architecture professionals from 49 states and territories. In his role as Secretary of the AIA Prairie () board, Jonathan spent the week engaging in conversations around upcoming federal legislation and exploring how architects can lead within their communities and professional organizations.

On Thursday, February 12th, he headed to Capitol Hill alongside fellow AIA members to advocate for the profession. Across hundreds of meetings, architectural voices reached 60% of Congressional offices, addressing key issues including public inclusion, housing policy, performance-based tax credits, and funding for architectural education as a professional degree.

Jonathan participated in meetings with the office of Dick Durbin, as well as the offices of Jan Schakowsky, Bill Foster, and Lauren Underwood, helping ensure the architectural perspective is part of the national conversation.
