About:
Cardosi Kiper Design Group, Inc. is a communications design firm specializing in the design and implementation of wayfinding signage programs, educational exhibits, donor recognition and branding programs. Our mission is to enhance our client’s brand throughout two and three dimensional environments with timeless design solutions.
The two principals, Kim Cardosi and Ted Kiper have worked together for over twenty years. Their shared philosophies of developing good design for good people led them to form Cardosi Kiper Design Group in October of 2004. Located in Chicago, the firm’s primary focus is healthcare and educational wayfinding and signage programs. Cardosi Kiper Design Group, Inc. is a WBE/DBE woman owned business certified with Cook County and the State of Illinois.
Some of the good people that we have had the opportunity to work with:
"Cardosi Kiper Design Group has taken great care in getting to know us, our campus clients and the University. Their careful listening skills and creative thinking on each project have presented them time and time again as a consistent and successful partner."

"CKDG was exceptional at understanding and responding to our nuanced requirements in what was sometimes a sensitive realm of the overall project. They were highly collaborative with our department and other stake holders, and creatively handled the various challenges that arose."
Laurie McMichael
former Director of Stewardship

"...I have not worked with a contractor, consultant or vendor with better skills to manage a project from start to finish. Not only were these skills evident throughout the duration of our project, but their professionalism is impeccable and their finished products have truly captured the spirit of our organization."
John Scarano
Assistant Vice President Support Services

"We would like to thank you, and your team for your professional contributions in the planning, design, preparation of contract documents, fabrication and installation of the wayfinding and signage for the project. Your collaboration with the architectural team and UCM staff was invaluable to the successful implementation of the signage program. Your ability to immediately respond to issues during fabrication and installation enabled us to meet our very tight schedule for the installation. Your team was always responsive, talented and very professional."
