Our Mission
Our mission is to provide advanced design and manufacturing services to companies dedicated to making the world a better place to live.
In a growing landscape of hyper-specialized, margin-focused companies, ACD is a breath of fresh air. We pride ourselves in being a one-stop shop for large companies and entrepreneurs alike. By collaborating closely with our clients, we develop innovative and customized solutions that not only meet but surpass industry standards.
From our unique New Project Introduction process to our partnership with manufacturers that can handle high-volume projects, we are fully committed to handling any project.
Our Story
ACD came under the leadership of co-owner Mike Tieu and Chief Executive Officer Minh Nguyen in 2015, and that’s when everything changed.
Their goal was to create a truly global design firm that offered customers full manufacturing capabilities and had access to a wide network of sourcing partners.
The company headquarters was relocated from Austin to Garland, Texas, and from there we established design presences in Florida and Vietnam and built relationships with manufacturers in Dallas, Atlanta, and China to take our capabilities to the next level.
In 2022, we moved to the Richardson IQ district, an area dedicated to technology-first thought leaders in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Our future is bright, and we want you to be a part of it.
