The 115-year-old, Washington, DC-based design firm Page Southerland Page is undergoing a series of changes to welcome a new generation of leaders.


Along with a new form of business organization and expanded ownership, the company will adapt a new visual identity program, a new website, and a new trade name-all effective January 1st, 2014. While the firm’s full, traditional name will still exist for formal purposes, it invites everyone to simply call it “Page.”

The firm started as a two-person partnership and evolved over time into an operation that works across five domestic offices and several international affiliates. Additionally, under Page’s reorganization, it will begin the process of transferring partial ownership of the firm to all employees through an employee stock ownership plan. 

With more than 40 percent of Page staff under the age of 35, the new and more horizontal organizational structure is intended to support its young and rising talent. One way is by providing more opportunities to work side by side with experienced leaders in delivering forward thinking, program-driven solutions. The company also provides opportunities to work worldwide across multiple cultures.
