About DMI - Our Journey to Excellence
Our Beginning
Founded in 2009, by Erick Nieto and Tony Aguinaldo, DMI (originally Designer Moving Installations) began as a vision to elevate customer service in the logistics industry. With our extensive experience, we saw an opportunity to rejuvenate a struggling company. At the time, it was a small operation with just 2-3 deliveries a week, but we saw potential for so much more.
Our Evolution
We started as a furniture delivery service, also handling residential moves. However, our commitment to quality quickly caught the attention of interior designers. They entrusted us to handle their project installations, impressed by the care and pride we took in our work. Responding to growing demand, we opened our first warehouse, a modest 900 square feet space. Soon, we shifted our focus entirely to logistics for the interior design industry, stepping away from residential moves.
Our Growth
Our dedication to excellence meant rapid growth. Just two years later, we expanded our space by an additional 1500 square feet. After another five years of maximizing our limited space, we made a significant leap into a conventional warehouse of 25,000 square feet with 6 docks. We don’t intend to stop there.
Our Mission Today
At DMI Denver, our journey is a testament to our belief in providing the best customer service for our unique clientele. From humble beginnings, we've grown into a leading logistics provider for the interior design industry here in Denver. Our journey reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and the unwavering care we put into every project. As we continue to grow, our focus remains on delivering outstanding service and supporting the creative endeavors of our clients.

The Stage by Elizabeth Jean
“As a designer working from out of state, I had reservations about finding the right receiver for a substantial project. After some thorough research, I discovered DMI. Throughout the year-long process and numerous components involved, DMI proved to be a reliable partner, significantly easing a considerable amount of stress and pressure. Despite the intensity of the two-day installation, the crew was exceptionally courteous, professional, and timely. Inevitably, a project of this size encountered a few hiccups, all of which were swiftly and gracefully addressed (with compassion). The owner, Tony deserves a whole lot of praise too. He's solution-oriented, maintains a positive outlook, and remarkably, he answers the phone- something quite rare! I wouldn't hesitate to work with DMI again. My only complaint: They don't have a presence in the Midwest.”

SHAWNA JARAMILLO - Owner -
DESIGN 5 SEVENTY-ONE
“I’m so happy to have found Tony and DMI. I have worked with them for several years now and have nothing but praise for Tony and his employees. I’m an interior designer that has been in the business for 30 years, so I’ve had experience with several local and out-of-state receiving warehouses over the years. Tony’s customer service and employees are like no other in the receiving/delivery industry. I never have to worry they might miss something when inspecting the furniture and because of this, I’m always confident the furniture will arrive at my client’s homes in perfect condition. Tony provides a true white glove experience that I know my clients will be impressed with and makes me look good. The guys who deliver are not movers like some might be used to. These guys are installers and know not only how to handle high-end furniture but also how to place it just right in the room. They center dining room tables without me having to say a word. They know what needs to be done and they do it with a smile on their face, with great care and efficiency. I’ve reached out to Tony several times after delivery to thank him for consistently giving excellent customer service. It says a lot when a receiving warehouse stays consistently exceptional over many years and doesn’t have a high turnover in employees. Tony and DMI are a rare find in this industry and I’m so thankful to consider them part of my team.”
