Design Alliance, Inc., was founded in 1991 by Jerry Purdy. Our heritage traces back more than 60 years, a heritage that came in 1993 from merging the Voorhees Design Group firm into Design Alliance. The merger created a strong sense of mission and considerable energy in the new firm.
Since that time, the firm has continually grown both in the size and complexity of its projects, as well as through staff additions and development.
Design Alliance now brings you, the client, the best of both worlds—a newly founded, fresh approach to architecture, as well as the history of the Smith-Voorhees-Jensen lineage of firms that have been involved in commercial, municipal, educational, and religious architecture since its inception in 1947. It’s that combination of a strong 60-year-old reputation along with a renewed vision for the future that gives you and your project the best we have to offer.
