🌟 "Good design is obvious. Great design is transparent." - Joe Sparano 🌟 At Rippe Associates, our goal is to create spaces that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetics, ensuring that every element serves a purpose without drawing undue attention. When our designs are transparent, they enhance the user experience effortlessly, allowing staff to work efficiently and guests to enjoy their meals without distraction. This principle of transparency in design not only elevates the quality of our projects but also fosters an environment where excellence becomes the norm. This principle extends beyond our professional work and can inspire personal growth. By striving for transparency in our endeavors—be it personal or professional—we focus on creating meaningful impacts that are felt rather than seen. It's about refining the details so thoroughly that the outcome appears effortlessly natural. Apply this mindset to continuously improve the areas of our lives that matter most, making every interaction and creation a testament to the power of thoughtful, transparent design. #MondayMotivation #DesignThinking #FoodserviceDesign #RippeAssociates

🚗✨ #RippeOnTheRoad takes us to Chamberlain, South Dakota, where we're excited to share our latest punchlist adventure at the Chamberlain Public Schools' new elementary school! Onsite, checking in on this project was Amy Fick, Sr. Project Manager. The scope included an addition to the existing middle/high school creating space for a new elementary school (K-5). With approximately 900 students, this campus needed a kitchen that could handle the hustle and bustle efficiently. 🍽️ So the design included an interesting twist: this school’s one kitchen will serve BOTH the elementary AND the middle/high school students. Amy was also able to make a quick stop to check out a unique local sight: the stunning 'Dignity of Earth and Sky' statue, created by artist Dale Lamphere. A big shoutout to CMBA Architects (Lee Beukelman and David Uhrich) West Plains Engineering, Puetz Design+Build (Eliott Coughlin), Michelle Willrodt and Dr. Justin Zajic from the Chamberlain School District for their teamwork on this fantastic project! 🙌 👀 Stay tuned for more updates on our journey to deliver #KitchensThatWork! #RippeAssociates #K12 #Education #FoodserviceDesign

🌟 "Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today." — Will Rogers 🌟 Every day is a fresh opportunity to craft a better tomorrow. It's easy to dwell on past mistakes and missed opportunities, but allowing yesterday's shadows to cloud today's possibilities only holds us back. Embracing the present moment means focusing on what we can control right now and letting go of the baggage that no longer serves us. In our personal and professional lives, this mindset can be transformative. By learning from the past without being anchored by it, we open ourselves to growth, creativity, and new achievements. Whether it's tackling a challenging project at work, nurturing relationships, or pursuing personal goals, staying present helps us to be more effective and fulfilled. #MondayMotivation #BePresent #GrowthMindset #FoodserviceDesign #RippeAssociates
