About Us

Once upon a time, in the crazy history of 2007, three friends decided life was just right for a new adventure and with the help of some brave visionaries, Designlab 252 was born. The company was conceived back in the day when Patrick and Scott were in school together. Its name, Designlab 252, pays homage to those days when they learned to be general practitioners of the arts and science in solving problems in the environment. It literally refers to the room number of the assigned studio space where they spent most of their life on campus. In many ways, they are still there. In the words of Bruce Almighty, “Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.” Konni is that woman at Designlab 252. Poor Konni. Forced to endure the antics of her partners, she is the smiling, patient, equilibrium that makes it all work. She is a very tolerant, wonderful woman. Today, we're all grown up (professionally speaking). We still have fun everyday, but we understand who we are individually and as a team. We know where our strengths are. We have found our groove, our niche, our place in the world. That has given us mad skills and confidence in all situations. We do work all over California. Its made us very good at what we do. But still, our best talent: turning clients into friends.
