Welcome to Designers & Partners

Designers & Partners (D&P) principal, James Tocco, is a designer/owner with 30-plus years of entrepreneurial experience in a variety of design disciplines for a diverse range of national and international clients. Jim’s award-winning creative work has included; art direction, photography, corporate identity/branding, advertising, exhibition and display design, business signage, interiors, event marketing, publication and book design, online and web creative and more.

The most recent addition to our capabilities is furniture design and wood-crafting through our sister company, Vincent Rose ARTifacts (vr-ARTifacts.com). We design and create one-of-a-kind furniture, framing, cutting/serving boards, gift boxes, and repurposed salvaged treasures.

As natives of the Detroit region, you know our team knows how to work hard for an honest dollar. D&P is a small, tightly knit organization – by design. It may not make sense to a banker, but small and efficient is a key part of our business plan. Working at this scale accomplishes several things:

• Retains our entrepreneurial spirit and creative freedom
• Makes us more responsive
• Allows us to work with select, top talent
• Maintains better cost and quality control
• Clients have the direct ear of the owner

We’re committed to the premise that everything good starts with good design. We’re confident that we can help make your next project memorable.

Let’s talk.
