Bergmeyer is expanding with the opening of a third office. 

The. design collaborative, which is based in Boston and Los Angeles, has opened its third office, in Columbus, Ohio.  The office will be led by famed industry veteran Christian Davies, who joined Bergmeyer in April 2021 as design practice leader and was recently named principal.

A creative hub for the retail design communities with an exploding startup scene, Columbus is one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities for innovation, further reinforcing Bergmeyer’s strategic move to attract leading local talent.

The expansion is the company’s latest significant investment in its continued evolution, following a transformative rebrand in 2020 along with a series of strategic hires over the past two years.

“Bergmeyer is excited to put down roots in Columbus, Ohio, a strategic move that will allow us to continue expanding client services through broadening our geographic presence to meet top design talent where they are and to support our regionally located clients,” said Bergmeyer president Rachel Zsembery.
