Case Study: PritchardPeck Lighting achieves nimble collaboration, faster onboarding, and low overhead with Dropbox

Dropbox brings competitive edge to “Small But Mighty” design firm

PritchardPeck Lighting, founded in 2011 by Jody Pritchard and Kristin Peck, is a small San Francisco lighting design firm that needed to stay flexible—working from home as new mothers while pursuing high-profile clients like Airbnb and Pinterest. They faced costly, slow file-access options (servers and VPNs) that hampered collaboration on large design files and threatened the nimble, technology-forward business model they wanted.

Adopting Dropbox provided a simple, affordable way to share and collaborate on large AutoCAD and Revit files via shared folders, and made onboarding new hires fast and painless. The result: lower overhead, smoother partner feedback, and the ability for the small team to punch above its weight and compete with larger firms.
