At BHDP, our team knows that inspiration can come from anywhere—even the kitchen! Our Charlotte and Raleigh teams embraced the art of cooking as a way to connect and collaborate outside of the office. In Charlotte, the team gathered at Chef Alyssa's Kitchen to prepare an authentic Italian dinner, fostering camaraderie while mastering new culinary skills. In Raleigh, colleagues joined the Home for Entertaining cooking class in Cary, NC, where they cooked a tarragon-roasted chicken meal and enjoyed an evening of conversation. These shared experiences help build trust and connection, reinforcing the foundation of our strong team culture. #DesignforPeople #TeamBuilding #OfficeCulture #Cooking

Our Cincinnati team recently had the privilege of touring the new Easterseals Redwood Farmer Family Foundation Regional Impact Campus in Walnut Hills—a facility designed to transform lives and build a more inclusive community. For the BHDP designers who worked hand-in-hand with Easterseals, including President and CEO Pam Green, it was a proud moment of reflection on their collaborative effort. For the rest of our team, it was an eye-opening experience exploring an important organization. Pam shared heartfelt stories, introduced us to some of their dedicated staff, and guided us through the expansive campus, featuring the Klekamp Family Military and Veterans Center, the packaging and fulfillment hub, a cutting-edge construction lab, and an innovative assistive technology facility. Easterseals Redwood is driven by a mission to advance equity, access, and inclusion for people with disabilities, military veterans, and those facing economic challenges—an inspiring reminder of what great design can empower.
