About Us

Budget

Brand

Beauty

Since 1993, r.o.i. Design provides a return on the design investment and creates lasting customer experiences.

We are a creative team who leads the process of collaborative planning and design.

Our methods and problem-solving skills produce outcomes that are based on budget, brand, and beauty.

We value innovation, discipline, commitment, hard work, and honesty. Our customers have said we are different from other designers. They describe us as practical, flexible, resourceful, and “good businesspeople”. Our portfolio demonstrates a variety of looks and styles. This supports the notion that our designs reflect our customers’ budget, brand, and sense of beauty, not our own preference for a particular look or style.

We operate in a 6,000-square-foot office and a 3,000-square-foot materials library located in a historic building near downtown Grand Rapids. We are supported by over 30 material representatives, keeping us up to date on the latest resources.

Our Team

Small but mighty, our team has skills and energies that allow us to work on sizable projects. We depend on each other and typically we all are working on all projects in different capacities for greatest efficiency and best possible outcome. Whether we are acting as a Design Lead, Interior Designer, Graphic Designer, Project Manager, Draftsperson, Spec-Writer or Sample “gopher”, we all play an important role.
