Mission

Derita Design opened in 2021 with the mission of demystifying the world of design and bringing it to our wonderful neighborhood in North Charlotte. When I was a child, I knew I wanted to be an architect because I loved drawing stadiums. But what if I knew about Industrial Design? 3D Printing? Rendering? There is no telling where I would have ended up! The mission is simply to act as a steppingstone as you begin or continue your design journey.
