For nearly two decades, Cannon Design has been nurturing a culture where imagination, invention and creative talent flourish. As a premier, world ranked firm by most any standard in all of our primary markets, we recognize that our continued success relies on more than just what we have done before; it relies on what we do next.

Our Research Initiative aims to compel the persistent development and application of new knowledge and creative invention in our work. This process will provide increasing distinction and competitive differentiation for our client partners and our firm. We view our design research as both the foundation and the fuel of our Ideas Based Practice culture.

While innovation will always be an intrinsic part of the design process, it is our conviction that the discipline necessary to commissioned work typically does not support the full depth of exploration and experimentation required to thoroughly expand the traditional boundaries of design process. Our Research Initiative is a response to this challenge.
