Exhibit Design Consultants offers full-service trade show exhibit design, production, shipping management and installation. Our founder, Joe Maricich, graduated in 1967 with a BA in Industrial Design from the University of Washington and began working as a structural designer for Container Corporation of America In 1968, he joined the exhibit industry as a detailer at Cole & Weber Advertising and the David Strong Design Group eventually becoming vice-president of Industrial Design. In November 1976, EDC was founded under its original name, Joe Maricich Design, Consulting Design Firm, doing graphic and interior design, but specializing in custom trade show and interpretive exhibits. We incorporated in 1983 as Exhibit Design Consultants, Inc. when we found that we were working primarily with interpretive and trade show exhibit clients, and we decided that our name should identify what we actually did. We opened our first showroom for portable displays in 1985, combining our custom design capabilities and portable display options at one location. In 1991, we were certified as a Woman-Owned Business, with Della Maricich as CEO. This enabled us to help some of our larger clients meet their minority-outsourcing needs. In 1994, we moved to our present location.
