Mission Statement
Crane + Boom is a real estate and lifestyle design company rooted in community development. We specialize in architectural design, interior design, and consulting services that prioritize equity, cultural relevance, and economic growth. Our mission is to create spaces and strategies that build wealth, foster belonging, and support historically underserved communities.
Why do you think it’s important for your business or organization to support nonprofits and community organizations in Southeast Michigan and what kind of positive impact do you think your work could have?
It’s important for Crane + Boom to support nonprofits and community organizations in Southeast Michigan because we understand the unique challenges and strengths of the communities we serve—because we’re part of them. As a business of color in a field that lacks representation, we believe our presence matters. Our work offers nonprofits the opportunity to partner with professionals who share and respect their lived experiences, leading to more thoughtful, culturally relevant, and impactful outcomes. By supporting mission-driven organizations, we help build spaces and strategies that reflect the communities they’re meant to serve.
