November 2006
Karl Krieg, Vice President and founder of Leifers, meets with prominent design and architecture firm, Newberry Campa, to discuss product design specifications and opportunities with the luxury home owner.

Karl Krieg and Troy Campa have known each other for a long time, but in a different capacity than what they met about in November. Karl Krieg’s design firm, The Business Lab, was selected by Newberry Campa to develop their new logo and identity as well as other collateral items. Through this relationship Karl learned how exclusive and detailed their work was. When Karl came up with the initial idea for his designer doghouses, he immediately enlisted the help and feedback of Troy Campa.

“Troy and his firm are responsible for some of the most compelling, stunning and smart home designs in the world. I knew that if I wanted our doghouses to be appealing to the luxury crowd, I’d better get the experts involved,” said Karl Krieg, founder of Leifers and designer of the NeoClassic and Old Ruins Doghouses. “Troy was a tremendous help. Together we flushed out important details that will help position these products as high end home accessories vs. simply doghouses.”

Troy Campa provided the company with numerous resources including manufacturing contacts and the most respected and well known Interior Designers in the city.
