What Hanna Design Group does

Hanna Design Group, Inc. (HDG) is a privately held, integrated Design-Build firm headquartered in Aurora, Illinois, that delivers architecture, interior design, and construction services under a single roof for national retail, restaurant, healthcare, automotive, childcare, and commercial office clients. Founded in 1992 as a retail consulting group and expanded into construction in 1995, HDG operates three collaborative in-house departments — Architecture, Interior Design, and Construction — that provide end-to-end project delivery from site surveys and code research through construction documentation to ground-up construction and tenant improvements. The firm specializes in open-store concept construction (building while businesses remain operational) and national multi-site rollout programs, supported by an extensive subcontractor database that enables competitive bid pricing across all 50 U.S. states and Canada.

HDG has completed over 600 projects since inception for a roster of recognizable enterprise clients including REI, AutoZone, ALDI, Famous Footwear, Kirkland's, Aspen Dental, Steve Madden, Hot Topic, Torrid, Lucky Brand, Burlington, Krispy Kreme, Bright Horizons, NTB Auto, Tire Kingdom, Motorola, and AAA. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services contracts won via competitive bidding, with pricing on a quote basis varying by scope, location, and client requirements; a secondary revenue stream offers standalone architecture menu services on a fixed-fee basis for clients using their own contractors. The firm employs 11-50 staff and is led by President Jason Mick with a management team that includes Architectural Senior Project Manager Michael Richardson, Controller Terri DeJong, and Director of Business Development Jeffrey Sabaj. HDG markets primarily through its website portfolio, project case studies, client testimonials, and project video content, and has received a Golden Phoenix award (1996) for its Motorola conference center design.
