Together, Maureen Thurston and Ron Pierce have over 50 years experience in design strategy, planning and management in both consulting and corporate environments.

In 2002 they joined forces with a shared vision to change the way business thinks about design. The net return on their collaboration is Design Leverage®, a holistic process that exploits the strategic capacity of design as an intrinsic value-adding activity.

Maureen and Ron’s collective objective is to optimize their client’s design investment to enhance fiscal performance, increase productivity and achieve operational excellence. The amalgamation of their knowledge, congruent values and passion for design has produced a compelling business model - far beyond the traditional design firm - driven to create practical solutions that generate sustainable competitive advantage.
