History

edit

HDG Architecture (Hissong Design Group PLLC) is a design firm founded in 2010 by designer Joshua Hissong. Within 6 months Hissong entered a partnership with architect Armando Hurtado. This partnership allowed HDG to take on larger scale projects. Initially focused on restaurant design, the company also engaged in residential projects. Hissong expanded his business by opening Wasabi Sushi in Spokane, Washington in that same year.

In 2013, HDG acquired Propaganda Creative, a graphic design and marketing agency, broadening its service offerings to include brand identity, marketing, and digital advertising.[4] This acquisition was part of a collaboration with Jason Clerget and Kyle Hurley. The firm continued to expand its operations with the opening of NUDO Ramen House by Hissong in 2014.[5][2]

In 2016, HDG acquired a 50% stake in a fabrication company Acadie Woodworks which was subsequently rebranded as Faber. This acquisition enabled HDG to take on more large-scale commercial projects. That same year, Hissong partnered with Matt Goodwin of Goodwin Group to open Remedy Kitchen[6], a restaurant concept.[2]

In 2017, HDG purchased and developed its current office location in Spokane, Washington. The company continued to evolve, selling its stake in Faber to a Midwest-based company in 2019 and selling Propaganda Creative to its managing partners in 2020.

In 2023, HDG launched a sister company in partnership with Aubrey Plaisance, Stroom Interiors – A Spokane based furniture procurement firm. [3]
