D. Eugene Thompson

D. Eugene Thompson brings an innovative approach to architecture and design. As the founder of Ionic DeZign Studios, he has achieved distinction throughout the community as a theorist, artist, teacher and architect.  Eugene is firmly committed to the practice of architecture as a collaborative enterprise. He strives to ensure IONIC’s architects and designers can expand and grow their creativity.

One of Eugene’s main goals is to foster the connective tissue between an owner and project team to allow all to participate in the reinvention and creation of architecture. Before starting IONIC, he worked for several offices and attained several notable achievements. Recently, Eugene has been working toward implementing ‘green design’ elements into several large development projects including office buildings, housing developments and entertainment facilities.

As the firm has grown, he has expanded his role as business owner and proprietor but will never lose his love for designing and creating architecture.
