Onyx Creative, Inc. is happy to announce a merger with L2M Architects. Emphasizing innovation by collaboration, the combined team is excited to continue their long-established relationships and project partnerships. L2M brings twenty-plus design professionals, two additional offices (Baltimore, Maryland, and Portland, Maine), and increased geographical responsiveness to a national clientele of Onyx Creative. The combined project portfolio and client list for L2M and Onyx Creative includes many industry leaders in the commercial, retail, and foodservice sectors. The firm will maintain these client-focused relationships and is positioned for current and future growth opportunities. "This merger continues to strengthen our design services nationally,” said Mike Crislip, President of Onyx Creative. "We have been collaborating with Scot Loiselle, Jeff Mahler, and their team for years, and they bring an incredible amount of retail and restaurant project knowledge, experience, and relationships.” Scot Loiselle says of the merger, “Founding L2M in 1994, Jeff and I had a vision for the character and culture of the firm we hoped to build. It was to be based on relationships with clients and staff. The merger with Onyx Creative is one more step in this 28-year journey to build on those relationships with clients, contractors, developers, and, most importantly, our staff. Our continued relationship with Onyx Creative, cemented by this merger, brings an expanded client portfolio, services, and the type of culture and relationships we originally envisioned.”
