Toronto, ON – Sept. 28, 2023 – DesignAgency is delighted to announce the appointment of Julia Summerville to Principal. Summerville’s promotion recognizes the former Design Director’s strengths as a designer, a project manager, and a trusted client partner.
“We welcome Julia’s leadership as we continue to strengthen the practice,” says Matt Davis, Founding Partner. “As we identify new ways to create engaging and immersive environments, we know how important it is to evolve and add new voices to address the needs of a rapidly changing world.
