Why Little:

Little is a place where you will be surrounded by colleagues who have different areas of expertise, are from different cultures and generations, and embody different talents, experiences, and passions. If you ask our employees what keeps them excited about coming to work each day, you will hear that it is the people. Itis also our culture and the chance to be part of creating a better future through our work. We embrace a culture of teaching and learning through cross-mentoring that spans generations, disciplines, talents, and interests and we strive to give each person exposure to the widest possible array of experiences. We care intensely about our clients and each other, and we do our best to spark a spirit of creativity and excitement in everyone around us.

It's the spirit of discovery that often brings people to the West Coast. It is that spirit, along with a passion for great design, that unites our Newport Beach office. Our only location to be adorned with a 1957 Camper (fully restored and renovated by employees), this wildly creative workspace inspires staff and clients to use their imaginations and rethink what's possible. Outside of the office, you can often find this team supporting their community and building a culture of giving.
