Each of HBG Design’s offices in Memphis, San Diego, and Dallas, are bright, open, contemporary spaces that promote engagement and mentorship, where senior leaders can openly engage best practices and impart knowledge. Project team members are empowered to ask questions, lead a discussion, and gain exposure to design thinking alongside some of the national hospitality and entertainment industry’s best creative minds. Weekly ‘Coffee + Collaboration’ mornings offer an all-employee open platform to initiate design discussions based on active project reviews. These productive critiques help inform the general direction of design or help team members seek input on how current projects could be improved, in an encouraging environment where every voice is respected.

Our employees agree: “The projects are challenging, which breeds creativity and innovation. Standards and expectations are high; at the same time, the atmosphere is supportive and encouraging. That combination motivates me to bring my best every day.”
