to shower. It gave her an extra 
year of life.”
Seeing the real-life impact 
that the project had, Stein, 
together with Remlinger, who 
also worked as an instructor 
at Lawrence Tech, formed 
DesignTeam Plus as a way to 
give back within their careers. 
Now, the firm operates on the 
same principles that the busi-
ness was originally built on.
“
All of our employees 
here have been handpicked 
because they all love our mis-
sion about giving back and 
they all love to volunteer,” 
Stein explains. “It’s part of the 
core of who they are, and the 
alignment works so well.”

IDENTIFYING 
VOLUNTEER 
OPPORTUNITIES
Each year, DesignTeam Plus 
evaluates their current proj-
ects and identifies ways to 
weave volunteer work into 
those efforts. One example 
is a project for Habitat for 
Humanity, a nonprofit hous-
ing organization, where the 
team took it upon themselves 
to work one afternoon on a 
home for women in need.
 DesignTeamPlus employees 
have also volunteered with 
Gleaners Community Food 
Bank, Hillel Day School, 
designing an award-winning 

sukkah in Ann Arbor and 
most recently, Yad Ezra, where 
they spent an afternoon work-
ing in the greenhouse they 
designed, washing and bag-
ging vegetables for the pantry.
The Yad Ezra project also 
served as a celebration of the 
firm’s 10-year anniversary, 
bringing them back to their 
roots and the mission that 
helped inspire it all.
While volunteering with 
these projects, employees are 
paid for their time. Employees 
can also select their favorite 
charity to receive a donation 
from the firm for the holiday 
season. “It gives purpose [to 
our employees],” Stein says. 
“It drives motivation; it drives 
excitement. They’re not just 
coming into work.”
In her own time, Stein 
also gives back to Gesher 
Human Services as a mentor 
and Jewish Federation of 
Metropolitan Detroit. “The 
Jewish community has given 
us so much,” she says. “It’s 
really important to give back.”
With 10 years under the 
company’s belt, Stein says she 
hopes to continue to expand 
DesignTeam Plus and its ser-
vices in the near future. “We 
constantly educate our staff,” 
she says. “It’s all about educa-
tion and mentoring the next 
generation.”
