Description

Who We Are:
The Up Studio is a national award-winning studio that strives to bring joy to people’s lives through concept-driven architecture, interior, and brand design. Our projects are customized to our clients’ needs, site specific, and rooted in a thoughtful design strategy.

With appreciation for each team members’ diverse talents, we strongly value a healthy live/work balance for all team members that results in a manageable workweek, which defies the industry standards. Additionally, we encourage and empower all staff to continue to explore innovative approaches to design, building science, and sustainability. 
 
We are committed to the idea that architecture and design are not just beautiful—there is a guiding narrative to how that beauty unfolds and is utilized. This is what we believe can truly enhance people’s lives.
