 Since 2003, Fusion A.I. Design has been a values-driven Architectural Interior Design firm committed to bringing innovative design to the realization of interior space in the domestic and international marketplaces. Delivering the highest level of professional service takes a team of dedicated professionals, and our commitment to building strong working relationships with Hotel Brands, Owners, Architects, Contractors, and the entire building development team is our key to success. This results in an integrated approach, bringing together the combined knowledge and expertise of the entire team to ensure the success of your project.

Because of our impeccable reputation and integrity, there was significant client demand to extend our services to provide FFA procurement. As a result, in 2016 FAID Procurement became an integral part of our project delivery services. We bring the same integrated approach to procurement and provide clients a more simplified, one-stop delivery approach. Because we are intimately familiar with the project design, we are sure to maintain the original design intent and because of our long-standing relationships with industry providers, we will deliver within project budget parameters.

Our Mission

To deliver thoughtful and cost-effective design solutions with a nuanced narrative that achieves our Client’s project vision and goals.
