About

Achella Design is a multidisciplinary studio representing the collaborative efforts of Chris, Alyssa, and Jon Panichella. 
While our primary focus has us specializing in furniture and graphic design, we’ve helped clients find solutions in diverse industries from medical devices to retail and exhibit design.

In lieu of an overarching design philosophy, we prefer to focus on authentic collaborations between the client, the intent
of the project, and the end user. Our goal is to tailor market solutions that perfectly blend our design sensibilities with the brands we create them for. With this honest approach we create honest solutions.
