Employee Ownership

We Own It
Employee ownership defines our culture. From day one, we’ve shared a common goal—making tomorrow better than today. By investing in ourselves, we’ve built a foundation of success, accountability, and growth.

This owner mindset drives everything we do. As a 100% employee-owned company, every ISGer is personally invested, bringing passion, and design expertise. We approach every opportunity like we own it—because we do.

The result? Our client’s best interests stay top of mind and the projects benefit from the collective expertise of a fully engaged team.

We set the bar high and expect each other to show up each day with a growth mindset and the drive to get it done. It isn’t for everyone but if you’re up for the challenge, it’s worth it.
