3D Design Studio founded by Melinda Palmore & Darryl Crosby in 1997 is an emerging architectural design firm with the mission to produce work of the highest caliber with service centered on the needs of the client. The majority of the firms' projects are in urban settings and have solutions which always seek to lift the human spirit. Many of the firms' clients are not-for profit companies where the need to empower or enhance through design within budget is a challenge. Recently their firm has completed the design of the Field Museum's New Information Technology (IT) Server Farm Offices, the preliminary design for the adaptive re-use of an existing Industrial Garage for the new home of The Renaissance Adult Day Services located in Chicago and the Corporate Office Building for Featherfist, a not-for profit organization focused on the homeless population.

The firm has participated as finalist in East Chicago Indiana's Washington H.S. Housing Competition and the CHA/NEA- Chicago's Design Competition for Mixed-Income Housing. Melinda Palmore and Darryl Crosby are part time faculty at Columbia College Chicago in the Masters in Interior Architecture and Undergraduate Interior Architecture Programs.
