TRIO DesignTRIO
TRIO, led by Principal and CEO Angela Harris, began as a Denver-based interior design firm nearly 20 years ago. Together with her husband Drake and their expert staff, TRIO has evolved to be one of the most highly regarded and fastest growing design and visual merchandising firms in the United States. F4D Studio is proud to work with TRIO to display our shared passion to make this world a more beautiful place – one space and story at a time.

These award-winning and internationally recognized leaders in creative, market-driven design believe wholeheartedly in the adage that to whom much is given, much is expected. And while F4D Studio has partnered with TRIO to produce content for many endeavors, Design for Humanity is an example of just how much synergy is present in this partnership.
In 2018, F4D and TRIO set out to capture the faces and hearts behind TRIO’s 3% Program. This philanthropic initiative is a commitment to strengthen less fortunate communities and cultivate equal opportunity by donating three percent of TRIO’s time, resources or profits to worthy causes.
This effort resulted in a short documentary film that explores Angela Harris’ love affair with Harbour Island and an organization called Exceptional Education Outreach (EEO).
As a frequent flyer to the Bahamas, Angela saw first-hand that the need on the small island of Eleuthera was great and she wanted to give a meaningful and lasting gift. Working with the nonprofit EEO, TRIO found a site, designed and funded a much-needed new school house.
Design For Humanity features students, teachers, and graduates of the EEO program. The film questions what it takes to design a world where opportunity begets opportunity. By peering into one former student’s life, we see the equalizing effect of a solid education, a result that will leave you smiling. This project certainly keep the F4D team happily busy managing TRIO productions that reached as far as London to the Bahamas and back again!
With project-based PR, lifestyle photography and marketing video projects on the horizon with TRIO, F4D looks forward to showcasing a shared passion to make the world a more beautiful place – one space and story at a time.
