Experience Your New Way of Living.
Our philosophy
Artful design meets practical, personal use with the award-winning expertise of Crimson Design Group. High-touch service, passionate drive and creative excellence — expect nothing less.


In 2003, Cheryl Stauffer founded Crimson Design Group with one simple idea: that collaboration is what creates authentic, inspiring spaces. Every client works closely with a dedicated team of CDG professionals, each of which shares in our core belief that bringing to life your story through design starts with listening to you. From daydreaming to execution, our process is both co-creative and structured, transparent yet playful, and always completely unique.
Born in Paraguay to two Mennonite missionaries, Cheryl has long been interested in the way our surroundings influence who we are and who we want to be. Natural beauty shaped Cheryl’s childhood and continues to guide her work as CDG’s fearless leader. In every project, CDG aims to cultivate a sense of grand, transportive wonder in spaces made for daily living. Through unexpected color and texture, thoughtful details, and general rule-breaking, CDG creates spaces that serve and delight the people who experience them.
In the nearly 20 years since founding CDG, Cheryl has grown her business from a one-woman show to a beloved national firm recognized by the best in the industry. And in turn, CDG has paid that success forward, donating a portion of all client fees to non-profit organizations, hosting galas, and galvanizing neighbors and clients to follow in philanthropy.
