Westgroup Designs is honored to be recognized by the Orange County Business Journal as a 2023 Companies That Care Honoree for going above and beyond for the OC community through philanthropic efforts and accomplishments.

Westgroup Designs was also honored earlier this year by National Philanthropy Day Orange County.
Westgroup Designs has been selected as an Honoree for the 2023 National Philanthropy Day, recognizing the contributions and spirit of giving the firm and its staff continue to make, in support of many Orange County areas.
WD’s fundamental value centered on investing in the region’s non-profit organizations, foundations and causes serves to benefit, enrich and empower the global community.

At WD, the breathtaking vista of Back Bay Newport Beach from our windows isn't just a daily source of inspiration; it's a constant reminder of the community we're deeply rooted in. Every day, as we look out from our workspace, we're graced with the serene beauty of the bay—a panoramic display of nature's splendor that never fails to evoke a sense of gratitude.
This past Saturday, our commitment went beyond admiration. Team WD took a proactive step to ensure the continued beauty and health of our coastal gem by participating in the National Coastal Cleanup Day. Equipped with gloves, trash bags, and an unwavering spirit of community service, we set out to rid the shores of waste, ensuring that the bay remains a pristine haven for its marine life and a cherished space for the community.
Our actions are guided by a belief that businesses should play an integral role in the welfare of their communities. As we worked alongside other volunteers, it was evident that collective action can lead to significant change. Every piece of trash picked up is one less contaminant affecting our environment.
So, the next time we glance out of our office windows at the serene waters of Back Bay Newport Beach, we'll not only admire its beauty but also take pride in knowing we played a part in its preservation.
Westgroup Designs painted a masterpiece at the annual IIDA Southern California Chapter's Fashion Show, capturing the essence of art in every detail! This year’s magnetic theme was "Where Art Meets Fashion," and our muse was the brilliant Georges Seurat and his groundbreaking Pointillism technique. With just 75 minutes on the clock, our team sourced fabric remnants and seamlessly integrated design material samples to evoke the pointillist magic of Seurat. We are thrilled to announce that our entry clinched first place!
A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors, Rodenbeck Associates and C.F. Stinson, for their invaluable support in bringing our vision to life. See our performance below!
In honor of Giving Tuesday, Westgroup Designs launched a virtual food drive running from 11/28/22-12/2/22. The goal was to raise enough money to provide 1200 meals to our food insecure neighbors in Orange County. There are approximately 18,030 people that are food insecure in Orange County. 4,420 children under 18 are food insecure in Orange County. 3,216 children receiving free/reduced school meals in Orange County.
The food drive went through Second Harvest Food Bank, a non-profit with the mission to provide dignified, equitable and consistent access to nutritious food, creating a foundation for community health. By the end of the week-long fundraiser, WD had achieved 193% of our goal and secured 2,320 meals for the community. We thank our employees and community for helping us surpass our ambitious goal.
