Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

A Seat at the Table for Everyone

Our team is committed to creating a studio culture that fosters professionalism, creativity, communication, positive energy, and mutual respect. We believe that the best design emerges when diverse voices and perspectives have a seat at the table.

EwingCole’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program, spearheaded by the EwingCole DEI Council, is an employee-driven initiative to provide a welcoming, equitable, and inclusive work environment for all. The mission of EwingCole’s DEI Council is to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.
