Shook Kelley is a 40-person firm with offices in Charlotte and Los Angeles. Over the past nineteen years, we have garnered a national reputation for pioneering a new field of services that merges seemingly disparate disciplines such as brand strategy, architecture, merchandising, consumer anthropology and communication design into one integrated approach we call Perception Design. Simply put, we help our clients take complex business strategies and turn them into relevant, two-second icons that cue and trigger specific emotive values in consumers.

At Shook Kelley, we have no titles. Only specialties. Our staff includes architects and interior designers who envision space and urban planners who understand place. Graphic designers who organize information and environmental designers who understand scale and its impact on clear communication. Brand strategists who understand the language of the marketplace and cultural anthropologists who study consumer behavior within the context of retail space. Our combined approach is more encompassing than traditional design firms in that it builds a consistent brand image that is communicated on all levels.
