History

Chrisa Chen and Chris Harvey started The Design Factory, LLC a Nevada company in 1999 after 10 years in the exhibit design and sales industry. The Design Factory began with a vision of creating an exhibit sales operation that would specialize in providing creative, cost-effective solutions for exhibitors, while maintaining the highest level of professionalism and customer service in the industry.

After starting out in a small office with four employees, DF has now become a distributor for Abex, Interlock, Laarhoven, Exponents, Moss Fabric Structures, and Optima Graphics. Las Vegas is a venue city for the convention business and we focus not only on end-user clients, but we also offer wholesale pricing on rentals, sales, and tradeshow services for distributors around the country and abroad.

In 2007 we expanded by adding Graphics by Design. We now provide exhibit sales and rentals and have complete control over graphic production, ensuring quality control and time sensitive production.

As of 2009, The Design Factory employs twenty-three full time employees and works hand in hand with DF-owned Network Convention Services, employing union labor for convention services. Our revenue from exhibits and graphics sales exceeds $3 million a year and we are growing in spite of a down economy. Our clients include national accounts such as Global Cash Access, Video Gaming Technologies, George P. Johnson, Dept. of Housing and Urban Development, Wells Fargo Bank, Duraflame, AOL, and local accounts such as R&R Partners, Palm Resorts, Bank of Nevada, Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas Convention and Tourists Bureau, Greenspun Media and many more.
