We bring a wealth of experience and expertise within community engagement, project management, and space activation solutions. Our interdisciplinary team promotes trust-building, humility, project sustainability, and a learn-by-doing philosophy.
We help communities articulate their vision and take action
Whether it is a pocket park activation or an arterial corridor strategic plan, we are committed to helping our clients determine their objectives and own future processes. Facilitating important discussions can uncover important ‘why’s’ along the way and lead to reciprocal learning. Our aim is to empower stakeholders to maintain and own processes long after project completion.
Co-creation is the name of the game
Projects must not only begin with individuals in mind but be designed and built alongside them. User-centered design work ensures that the wants and needs of real people are highlighted within the real estate asset design process. We ensure that client feedback is quantified, summarized, and understood, and that the information is translated effectively to external stakeholders. The outcome is the creation of urban nodes, destinations, and
landmarks.
We are committed to trust-building and engaging overlooked populations
Without trust, projects are doomed to repeat the past. Innovation begins when strong relationships are formed and sustained within communities. Our team dives in deep to understand the local context and entrench ourselves within the ebbs and flows within a particular space. Through this process, we ensure that overlooked populations are included and welcomed to be a part of the design process.
We seek to elevate the craft and execution of our industry
Creative placemaking has been a buzzword over the past few years, but many cities have yet to see the direct, sustainable impact of placemaking (and placekeeping) on its’ neighborhoods, districts, and downtown areas. Through new tools, processes, and information, we are excited to bring a fresh perspective to the tactical urbanism conversation.
