We're a team of passionate retail specialists who think differently. Together, we design, build, and deliver spaces that transform how brands connect with their customers.

Let’s Work Together

Our Story

In 1996, Todd Jacobsen started with a simple vision: create standout retail experiences built on strong partnerships.

Our first two clients - Smith Optics and Patagonia - set the foundation for everything we would become. These relationships, which continue to this day, taught us that understanding our clients' unique needs and values is essential to creating innovative retail spaces that truly reflect their brands.

By 2005, we expanded into overseas manufacturing and established our presence in Asia, allowing us to offer our clients more comprehensive solutions at a global scale.

Today, we ship custom retail solutions to over 28 countries worldwide, partnering with leading brands like Nike, PXG, Lids, and Lululemon. Our transition to a fully virtual workforce in 2020 proved that innovation can thrive in any environment.

From those first handshakes with Smith and Patagonia, to our latest global projects, one thing hasn't changed: we believe in building relationships that last, understanding what makes each brand special, and delivering results that exceed expectations. It's how we started, it's who we are, and it's how we'll keep growing- one partnership at a time.
