Happy Halloween from Westgroup Designs. This year we present our annual Halloween video, ghostbusters themed!

In 1985, the International Union of Architects created World Architect Day to “remind the world of its responsibility for the future of the human habitat.” Westgroup Designs is appreciative to have contributed that goal for over 30 years.

International Coastal Clean Up Day was this past Saturday and the Westgroup team showed up at Newport Beach to help the cause!

Dan is joining WD with over 20 years of experience in AEC, and business development. His research-based approach ensures that we have a deep contextual understanding of our clients and the projects we pursue, to ensure a solid foundation for success. He helps determine how to best answer the needs within our markets by working with leadership to align the right people and practices for each client’s unique culture, challenges, and vision.

Westgroup Designs showed up and showed out at the annual IIDA Southern California Chapter's Fashion Show to great acclaim! Our team’s selection was the adaptation of the musical Into The Woods (the dark version of Grimm's Fairy Tales), for this year’s theme, Broadway on the Beach. Teams had one hour to grab fabric remnants from the available pile and incorporate design material samples into costumes to illustrate the theme! Check out Red and her alter ego, the Wolf, in our entry below! All leftover fabric from the event is turned into tote bags by volunteers, for foster youth, and presented to several local organizations.
