Through all of the hype, noise and debate over AI, an older and much more powerful force has all but been silenced. For those in the know, its true power, not only keep vigil over it—it is their secret competitive advantage. That force is called “Customer Service”, which is serving the customer/client, rather than merely tending the project alone.
We are thrilled to announce the arrival of several exceptional individuals who have joined our Selbert Perkins Design family. These talented professionals bring diverse skills, experiences, and fresh perspectives that will further elevate SPD’s creative offerings and client service.
Wayfinding is misunderstood by most people, who mistakenly believe that it is as easy as simply creating and installing signs. Yet we’ve all had that frustrating experience of being in a place and not being able to find our way to our desired destination. Although there may be many signs around us, they do more to confuse us than to intuitively guide us to where we want to be.
The Chicago office has an immediate opening for a BIM, Revit, CAD Designer.
The full-time designer will work closely with our design team to support developing and documenting unique, exciting, and functional wayfinding signage/placemaking elements integrating brand, storytelling, and enhancing navigation.

The beauty of trains, trams, and other forms of public transportation extends well beyond getting from one place to another. The benefits extend beyond reducing traffic and doing our part in lowering greenhouse emissions. The real beauty is that they connect communities and the people within them with one another.

From our fearless leader, design creatives, accounting staff, studio managers, marketing team, and HR dept. we are incredibly thankful and proud to stand with the best of the best.
Cheers to all the women who have come before us and those currently paving the way for generations to come.
Situated in the once sleepy suburb of Dallas and Fort Worth, Arlington Texas is being transformed into a new story.
We’ve all had that feeling. That sensation within us that occurs when we enter a new space.
Somehow that environment speaks to us on a level that is beyond our normal senses… communicating to us on a more fundamental and powerful level.
That sense of place conveys to us its story. It invokes specific feelings. It serves to either welcome, or warn… engage or repel… invoking old and creating new memories. Placemaking creates a sense of unity in an otherwise fragmented world, drawing us in and enticing us to stay.
