About Us

About Us

We design environments that move people forward, turning complexity into clarity through insight, imagination, and collaboration.

Our approach combines design rigor, technology, and research with empathy, deep listening, and a responsibility to people and the planet. In partnership with our clients, we shape environments that move people and communities forward.

Life at IA

Curiosity fuels our creativity. We don’t just create environments that move people. We cultivate a culture that moves us forward.


We’re drawn to thoughtful questions, diverse perspectives, and the possibilities found along unexpected paths. Inspiration moves freely here, between people, studios, and disciplines, shaping how we think, collaborate, and create.


Good ideas are only the beginning.

Our Impact

See All Roles

We move with purpose. From employee ownership and ongoing research, to the way we consider materials and long-term performance, our choices are made with the future in mind.


We see design as a responsibility to the people who experience it, the places it shapes, and what comes next. That responsibility extends beyond the work itself, informing how we contribute to our communities and the world around us.

Our Reach

We know who we are and what we value, and that commitment reaches beyond what we do. Through community partnerships, philanthropy, and service, we give our time, resources, and expertise to the people and causes that strengthen the communities we call home.
