DelMuro Designs is built on a three-part philosophy that runs through everything we make and everyone who makes it: Head, Heart, and Hands. It's how we think, how we create, and why the work means something to us and to the clients we serve.
From the Toyota Production System to aerospace manufacturing leadership, Ray spent his career engineering things that worked — precisely, repeatably, at scale. That discipline is embedded in every DelMuro product: the tolerances, the consistency, the logistics of delivering hundreds of custom pieces without compromise.



Ray's photography has been featured in Arizona Highways. His drawings were published in Street Rodder Magazine. He builds furniture. He restores hot rods. The artistic eye behind all of it is the same one that shapes every award, gift, and piece of merchandise DelMuro Designs creates — beautiful enough that people want to show it off.



Ray built Refresh Glass to prove that doing good and doing business aren't in conflict. He created the Refreshing Hour to support the children's hospital. He has worked with Habitat for Humanity and local community gardens. These aren't side projects — they're the reason DelMuro Designs exists, and the reason clients trust it to represent their values.


"Style, function, & purpose go together like left wing, right wing, and steering. Heart, head, and hands. I enjoy pursuing projects that embody the big three concurrently → beauty (art), utility (engineering), & values (impact)."
~ Ray DelMuroRefresh Glass was founded in 2008 with a simple but powerful idea: rescue discarded wine bottles from restaurants and hotels, and transform them into functional, stylish glassware, custom gifts, and large-scale branded experiences.
The company partners with restaurants, hotels, and venues to collect bottles weekly — reducing their waste disposal needs while diverting millions of bottles from landfills. Each bottle is cleaned, cut, and crafted into a product that becomes a conversation piece at dinner tables and conference tables alike.
Products can be personalized with names or logos, making them ideal for corporate gifting, events, and branded activations. Clients use Refresh Glass products as proof that they walk the sustainability talk — in a fun, functional, and stylish way.
Refresh Glass is currently operating the 10 Million Bottle Rescue Mission, continuing its commitment to keeping bottles out of landfills and in the hands of people who value both craftsmanship and purpose.













Ray DelMuro is an engineer, designer, fabricator, and entrepreneur best known as the founder of Refresh Glass, the Arizona-based company that has transformed more than 1.6 million rescued wine bottles into functional glassware, custom gifts, and large-scale branded experiences for companies including the Chicago Cubs, Cavaliers, Hyatt, Whole Foods, Ritz-Carlton, and Francis Ford Coppola Winery.
Before launching Refresh Glass in 2008, Ray built his career in advanced manufacturing and engineering, beginning with Toyota's renowned NUMMI facility — where he trained in lean manufacturing and the Toyota Production System — before moving into aerospace manufacturing leadership roles at Toyota Motor Corporation and C&D Zodiac Aerospace. He later became Director of Manufacturing Technology, overseeing CNC systems and fabrication technologies across 16 divisions.
Despite success in engineering, Ray felt pulled toward something more creative and human-centered. After leaving aerospace, he spent a year traveling through 21 countries with a backpack and a camera — an experience that reshaped his perspective on design, storytelling, and community impact. Refresh Glass emerged from that pivot: an effort to combine the precision of engineering, the emotional connection of art, and the purpose-driven thinking of conscious business into one company.
Today, Ray leads DelMuro Designs, where he creates custom large-scale experiential installations, branded fabrication projects, and engineered art pieces that blend craftsmanship, sustainability, and storytelling. His work sits at the intersection of beauty, utility, and impact — transforming recycled and fabricated materials into memorable brand experiences and conversation pieces.
Ray has spoken at TEDx Phoenix, the Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit, and numerous leadership and community events, where he shares his "5x5 Impact Method" — a framework for helping organizations create authentic differentiation while generating meaningful community impact at the same time.
Outside of work, Ray continues to design and build furniture, develop custom fabrication tooling, restore hot rods, play hockey, and pursue landscape photography and traditional art.
