Description

GROWTH STORY

Design TWG was an idea that originated in 1999 which has now grown to be one of the most competitive interior design firms in the Greater Toronto Area. In 2011, the company started off as ‘TOGETHER WE GROW’ in the basement of Hemen’s house with 4 employees. The motivation and drive to be successful was endless and no glass ceiling could stop the ambition from growing.

In 2012, after growing and expanding their business for a couple of years, they were able to employ new team members and move into a larger office space which was designed from scratch by the team themselves.




The team has now grown to 15 people with the interior design team being led from the office in Mississauga and the visual branding team being led from Pune, India. The current office was established in 2018 and inaugurated by the Consulate General. Even after 10 years, the vision and motto of the company, which is to design with authenticity and simplicity, remains the same.




Our designing priority is to work in tandem with customer’s business objectives and in the context of the target audience and customer preferences. Our management priority is to hold hands in the entire project journey of our client.

The design industry usually works fragmented, with the client requiring to hire multiple agencies, one for design and maybe one or more for various aspects of project execution. TWG is built around a collaborative approach, where different stakeholders are brought together and perform in tandem under one design and management agency.
