In 1965, Bob Young founded Robert Young Associates (RYA) in Dallas, Texas. Since its founding, Bob has led the firm in creating award-winning retail design experiences for clients from one-of-a-kind specialty stores to many of the leading department store brands around the world. It was this clarity of vision and challenge to excellence that forged the foundation of RYA, leading the profession in its value to retailers worldwide.

Today, RYA Design Consultancy is a highly respected and trusted design consultancy working intimately with many of the major consumer brands and retailing corporations in the world. Modeled as a leading design and marketing consultancy to broadly defined retail industries, the firm's expertise spans the broad spectrum of brand strategy development, retail planning, interior design, lighting design, visual merchandising, graphic and retail marketing communications. International and global clients are a rapidly growing component of the firm's portfolio. RYA partners remain committed to an advisory role counseling our clients on a wide range of challenges, from concept design to operations and branding.

RYA Design Consultancy now has offices in New York City and Dallas. Establishing an office in New York has allowed us to enhance our value and service to the firm's East Coast legacy clients, as well as respond more effectively to an emerging and diversified new client base.

RYA enjoys a boutique culture driven by a passion for the highest level of creative and account services, while at the same time meeting the demands of the world's leading retailers and consumer brands.
