Dave Valle
Founder of On The Level Design
Hi, my name is Dave Valle, pronounced “Valley” ;), a Boston-based, college-trained ASID designer known for my precision, practical creativity, and builder-friendly plans. With years of experience designing kitchens, galleys, and apartment interiors for developers throughout the Northeast, I bridge the gap between architectural excellence and real-world construction.
On the Level Design is more than a studio—it’s a partnership approach. Whether you’re downloading a digital layout or collaborating on a custom renovation or home build, I want to bring an approachable, detail-focused process that makes every step seamless. So you can bring the living space of your dreams to life.
