Happy Anniversary to Republic!

Founded in 2009 and officially incorporated on March 25, 2010, Republic is proud to be celebrating 15 years in business. As we gear up for our R15 Crystal Anniversary Celebration, we’re taking time to reflect on the journey that brought us here.

We’ve always believed the journey is just as important as the destination. That belief has shaped our projects, our design process, our team, and the relationships we’ve built with clients and partners along the way.

We invite you to join us as we look back—year by year—on where we started, where we’ve been, and where we’re headed.
