WELCOME
Successful lighting and design features can act as functional beacons for your business. Yellow Goat Design’s unique emotion-invoking designs connect people to your space and keep them engaged in your story. Whether you are attracting potential tenants, entertaining customers, motivating employees, or selling products, YGD’s pieces communicate your message and keep them engaged longer. As a result, you experience increased time spent in your space, motivated and valued employees, users who feel invested in their experience and psychological reactions and connections that run far beyond an inevitable increase in your bottom line.
YGD’s award-winning team will work with you to add significance to a space that is uniquely your own. You will have a product that is more than just a piece of art. It will be strategically designed and engineered to have purpose well beyond the aesthetic and a message that is long-lasting. If you want buzz, your YGD piece will be the one that is photographed, on live social media streams, in Instagram feeds, pinned on Pinterest and it will generate conversations, connections, and increased traffic to your space.
With over 20 years of experience and offices around the world, YGD has the expertise and exposure to analyze your business, understand your message, recognize the users of your space, and apply all of this to create a powerful design tailored specifically for you and your environment. YGD collaborates with architects, designers, and owners to ensure cohesive aesthetic and message based pieces that integrate effortlessly into the larger design and also respect your budget.
Your experience with YGD will be seamless. We offer conceptual and design development, engineering, prototyping, fabrication, shipping, installation, on-site coordination, and more. You have an open invitation to visit the factory, see the process, make any changes to your piece when it’s in production, and meet our talented team who value your input.
Your collaboration with YGD will deliver an influential design icon whose performance will result in higher productivity, innovation and creativity, and increased patronage and sales. Find out for yourself why YGD is known as the GOAT (greatest of all time).

FABRICATION STUDIO LOCATION
All designs are fully fabricated (not just assembled!) in our North American studio located in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, just outside of Toronto. We welcome visitors to check out our state-of-the-art facility where the magic happens.
DESIGN FEES
We offer complimentary design services when engaging with our team. No surprise fees! We require payment when the design is approved and you are ready to engage in shop drawings and production.
LOCAL REPS
Rather than a traditional sales business model, we are a team of designers who work exclusively for YGD. Our robust design development team is required to have worked at a commercial interior or architecture firm and possesses the extensive training and knowledge required to ensure your project is a success.
3D MODELING SERVICES
We model our designs in-house with various programs including Rhino and 3DsMax. We can export to the following file types: 3dm, .skp, .max, .3ds, or .dwg 3D.
VE SOLUTIONS
As designers ourselves, we are happy to adjust the design to meet the budget parameters or offer alternate solutions to help with your VE efforts. We have plenty of tricks up our sleeves!
INSTALLATION
Our team offers both full and supervised on-site installation services upon request. Just ask and we can work up a quote for this additional scope.
ELECTRICAL CERTIFICATION
All designs are tested and certified in-house at our studio prior to shipping to meet all local electrical codes. Due to the custom nature of our products, we opt to use QPS, an equivalent to UL and OSHArecognized in the US. All components that make up the design are UL Listed. Our products have been successfully installed in the US (and worldwide) and QPS must be accepted by all electrical inspectors.
PURCHASING WITH YGD
Our quotes reflect the design, material, and labor required to produce your product. Pricing is the same for all industry partners, regardless of who is purchasing. We do not have exclusive partnerships with distributors. Our clients are welcome to purchase direct -- whether it be the owner, GC, EC, distributor or procurement agency. We want our clients to have the flexibility to choose!

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“Working with YGD was seamless. Their products are high quality and stunning. Thanks YGD for the showcase piece!”
Matthew Thomson, Development AMLI Residential

Norman Roberts, VP Nelson
