DesignAgency was established in 1998 by Allen Chan, Anwar Mekhayech, and Matt Davis, three friends united by a commitment to create emotionally impactful spaces that bring people together and that foster distinctive, memorable experiences. From the beginning, DesignAgency broke the mold of conventional interior design firms, driven by a holistic approach to shaping every touch point of the experiences its spaces offer.

Today, the firm consistently sits at the top of Interior Design magazine’s Hospitality Giants list, globally respected for its work with clients spanning luxury icons like Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis and cultural innovators like Soho House and Momofuku Restaurant Group. DA extends the hospitality ethos far beyond hotels and restaurants, delivering exceptional environments in entertainment venues—from 200-person concert halls to 20,000-seat arenas—as well as workplaces, multifamily residential buildings, members clubs, spas, and beyond. The firm comprises a global team of more than 130 creative, entrepreneurial design-thinkers, all of whom contribute to a body of work that transcends categories and defies boundaries.

Established and headquartered in Toronto, Canada, DesignAgency also has studios in Washington, D.C., Barcelona and Singapore, serving a global roster of clients. In 2025, the company launched DesignAgency Collective, the parent company that sits atop DesignAgency, along with two newer sister companies: DA Ventures, an investment and partnerships arm; and StudioDA, which focuses on branding and graphic design.
