It is said that what goes around, comes around. It is with a deep sense of the binding power of this principle that, at DKA, we view accountability to clients and to project end users as the strength of our practice and the heart of our design culture. Our 25-year practice is as diverse as the community that we serve, and as focused as the personal commitment we make to each client.
DKA is committed to building community through comprehensive responsive design - design with the awareness that one does not build in a vacuum, but within a set of resources, cultures, practices, and values that radiate beyond the individual project. This is the sensibility that has come increasingly to shape the economy of social responsibility –the economy of the triple bottom line, dedicated as much to people and to the planet as to profitability.
But, with a keenness that a quarter century of remaining accountable in difficult environments can create, we seek to find harmony between needs, desires, and goals, and to not only build within them but to build upon them. This is an empowering set of design values that we at DKA look to bring to the table in each area of the community where we deliver services.
