We have some exciting news to share... 👀

Tobi and Tiffany traveled to New York City for the Retail Design Institute's 55th International Design Awards, and we're SO excited to share that DWS Co. received a Class of 2025 award in the Restaurant Category for our work on DeLille En Ville! 🥂✨

This project has been such a special experience for our team, from the early ideas to seeing the finished space come to life. We're incredibly proud of what we created alongside DeLILLE CELLARS and grateful to everyone who played a part in bringing this vision to life.

We can't think of a better way to celebrate a project that means so much to us. Cheers to the entire team!

DWS Co Value #5:
We are adaptable amidst ambiguity; forward-thinking and always prepared.

To be successful in our industry, you must be adaptable, and you must be able to thrive despite ambiguity. Showing up prepared and seeing around corners for our clients helps us to minimize the swirl if things go sideways.

Our team has been doing this a long time, and we bring all of our hard(-hat) lessons learned to every project.

DWS Co Value #4:
We create a safe space where people can be themselves and give and receive feedback without judgement.

This is a sacred value here at DWS Co. It is imperative to create a safe, collaborative culture, especially in a creative environment. No one can create at their best if they don’t feel safe, seen, and supported.

We balance that with our open feedback culture and assumption of positive intent with each other, which reinforces the environment.

DWS Co Value #3:
We take ownership over our work and operate with integrity.

This is one of our most important values. The work we do is a team effort, so it might be easy to pitch work down the line or pass blame onto others, but that isn’t how we choose to operate.

We own our excellence, and we also transparently own our mistakes, and will do everything we can to make it right. We’re in this together – as a team, with our clients, and with all of our partners involved.

DWS Co Value #2:
We have high standards. We set a bar of excellence for ourselves and our industry - and then raise it.

We hope it shows in the work we do. We have a high bar for ourselves at DWS Co, and every day we push ourselves to be better than the day before. We put all we’ve got into our projects and our designs, because being good isn’t good enough.

We live our values every single day at DWS Co. They're a compass for everything we do, how we work together, how we show up for our clients, and how we partner with our suppliers, reps, and contractors.

We revisit our values often - whether it's through recognition cards shared in weekly team meetings or as a lens for preparing annual 360 reviews.

And we are proud to share them with you, starting with DWS Co Value #1:

We support each other; a unified team without ego.

We hire the best of the best at DWS Co, and we know none of us can do it alone. We check our egos at the door and show up every day as a team.

Design Well Spent Company was hired at a pivotal time for Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory (RMCF) as the brand set out to reinvent themselves to reinvigorate their current store portfolio and pique the interest of new franchisees. Our task at hand was to develop a whole new retail design concept for the brand that would honor their history and uplevel the customer experience.

At the heart of our design is a celebration of craft. RMCF made-in-store elements are given center stage, offering customers a front-row view into the authentic artistry behind their fan-favorite items. These open moments of transparency and connection highlight the care, tradition, and human touch that go into every handmade product.

Subtle, whimsical touches and unexpected details are sprinkled throughout our spaces, inviting moments of curiosity, discovery, and delight.
