Schickel Design is a third generation family-owned business. Founded by William Schickel in 1948, the business focused on liturgical design and artwork. After working for her father for many years, Martha Schickel Dorff took over ownership in 2000. Under her leadership, Schickel Design expanded its specialization into historic adaptive reuse residential projects, as well as experiential design for institutions. In 2019, Rebecca Dorff Cadena, Martha’s daughter, became the new owner of the business.
