History
Based on growing public awareness that graphic design can be a powerful marketing tool, Design Team One was founded in 1981 on the subsequent premise that synergy between advertising (a client company's paid media: print, TV and radio) and its branding and graphic design would produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate efforts.
In 1985, board members Alex Stolley, Bill Lawarre and President, Dan Bittman purchased the company from Northlich Stolley LaWarre and moved its offices from the agency's building to the top floor of the city's historic Dixie Terminal Building designed by Frederick W. Garber. Design Team One was a destination studio on the IDSA (Industrial Designers Society of America) 1985 World Design Congress USA Tour.
In 1988, Bittman purchased Stolley and LaWarre's shares and became the studio's majority shareholder.
In 1994, Beverly Fox became an equal shareholder and in 2006 was appointed President & COO.
In 2011, Dan Bittman was awarded the AIGA Fellow Medal.
