We are CannonDesign, a global design solutions firm that stands at the nexus of strategy, experience, architecture, engineering, and social impact. Our journey began in 1945, founded by Will Cannon, Sr. and his sons, Will Jr. and Don, in Niagara Falls, New York. From those early days, driven by a passion to compete with the best in the profession, we've grown into an international practice with a significant presence across North America, Asia, and India. Our core philosophy is 'Living-Centered Design,' a bold commitment to leveraging our diverse talents not just to improve the world, but to actively reshape it for the better. This isn't just a tagline for us; it's the very essence of who we are and it fuels our daily drive to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people and the health of our planet.
Our team is a vibrant collective of strategists, futurists, researchers, architects, engineers, designers, and builders, all united by a singular, powerful goal: to help solve our clients' and society's greatest challenges. We believe that the most impactful solutions emerge from a deep understanding of human needs and systemic complexities. This belief has guided our evolution from a traditional architecture and engineering firm into a comprehensive practice that employs design thinking to pioneer next-generation strategies, operations, workforce models, consumer experiences, and facility solutions across a multitude of sectors. We're proud to have been recognized for our innovative approach, including being named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies and a World Changing Company. We are dedicated to creating environments and experiences that are not only aesthetically compelling but also highly functional, sustainable, and enriching for the communities they serve. Our commitment extends to fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning within our own walls, ensuring we remain at the forefront of design excellence and positive global impact.
