Broad incumbents

• Yabu Pushelberg: Global interior design firm renowned for luxury hospitality and residential work. Direct category overlap with XDC's hospitality and luxury residential focus, though at materially larger scale and international footprint.
• Roman and Williams: Premium interior design and architecture firm with a heavy hospitality and residential portfolio (restaurants, hotels, residences). Operates in the same design category at the higher end of the market with significantly more scale.

Emerging players

• Brittney Ferguson Interior Design: Smaller-scale interior design practice with a hospitality and residential portfolio comparable in style and project types to XDC, but with a less established brand presence.

Others

• Space Architects + Planners: Chicago architecture firm identified as XDC's primary collaboration partner across nine named projects. Adjacent/partner rather than direct competitor; together they deliver integrated architecture-plus-interior design services.
