A history of innovation
Founded in 1971, Design Professional was originally known as the Design Professionals Insurance Company, or DPIC – one of the first organizations to recognize that professional liability insurance is most effective when it's accompanied by an active commitment to risk management. Today, we continue to go beyond broad coverage and expert claims services and help clients protect themselves with proven loss prevention techniques.
