About us

Creative collaboration.

For over 25 years the multi-disciplinary team at RSM Design has created award-winning graphic connections with architecture. Our studios have collaborated with some of the world’s most noted architects, developers, and institutions to seamlessly combine branding, wayfinding, art, and graphics into the built environment. The designs span the spectrums of locations, scales, project types, and cultures to create unique experiences through the lens of environmental graphics.

RSM Design is a certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE) and is certified nationally by the National Women Business Owners Corporation. As well, we are certified WBE in the state of Texas by the Texas Unified Certification Program and North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency. With our affiliation and participation in these programs we hope our WBE status helps the projects’ diversity programs, requirements for minority subcontractors, and opportunities with local, state, and the federal government.

Stay true

We believe every story is distinct, every place unique. Each project  is an opportunity to stay true to our values to create authentic meaningful experiences.

Talk less, say more

The design process within each project is unique. We challenge ourselves to ask powerful questions and listen to the meaning behind the words.

Keep an open mind

Innovation speaks for itself. We believe in the power of creativity to create opportunity and solve challenges. We continually tailor our process for each project’s unique objectives.

Decades of design.

Working out of their garage apartment, Suzanne and Martin began the San Clemente studio in 1997 with one project from Walt Disney Imagineering. A nice project to begin with, but one that rapidly needed additional team members. Joined shortly by Harry, Stephanie and Cody, the team quickly grew in its collaborative spirit. That collaboration formally established Redmond Schwartz Mark Design in 1999 by merging with Harry’s architectural practice in Dallas… beginning two decades of working at the intersection of graphics and architecture.

In 1999, the studio moved out of the garage apartment and purchased the San Clemente design studio. This location was the first building designed by Korean architect Richard Y. Lim, a protege of Frank Lloyd Wright. Lim’s wife worked as a seamstress for the Wright family to pay for the internship at Taliesin West. Built in 1948, the structure was the first modernist building in San Clemente.
