Exceptional Journeys
Begin with Design
DI designs transit experiences and integrated public environments that help people move through civic spaces with clarity and confidence. From airports and streetcars to pedestrian paths and bus shelters, our civic design solutions support navigation, accessibility and engagement across the full passenger journey.
We design for airports, streetcars, pedestrian paths, bus shelters and other integrated public environments. Each space is planned to inform, guide and engage while supporting the needs of passengers, operators and communities.
With in-house expertise spanning exterior and interior design, technology and fabrication, DI serves as an end-to-end civic space design partner rather than a standalone vendor. Our experiential civic design solutions include intuitive wayfinding design, passenger flow design, immersive flight simulators, public art integration, standout sponsorships and artistic activations.
Effective transit environments require thoughtful planning for accessibility, multimodal movement and long-term durability. Our team designs spaces that help passengers move easily between buses, rail, pedestrian paths and rideshare areas while maintaining clear navigation and visual consistency.
We incorporate ADA-compliant pathways, intuitive signage, multilingual communication elements and materials built to perform in high-traffic public settings. The result is a transit environment that supports daily operations and creates a more comfortable passenger experience.
