Our History


We are a community of designers, planners, engineers, scientists and storytellers engaging, involving and acting with people in creative problem solving.

We believe...

Communities can plan their own futures.
Inclusive and participatory planning always results in better policies, projects and programs.
The world needs
an ecological perspective.
Beautiful and carefully designed environments require holistic, evidence-based research and analysis.
Great projects work for everyone.
Thriving and accessible communities improve everyone’s lives.
Elegant design inspires new thinking.
Design is not our end goal—our end goal is to connect people to each other.
Every project should advance racial and social equity.
Bringing diverse communities and perspectives together promotes shared prosperity and well-being.
All work must be context driven.
Great places reflect the community’s culture, history, geography—and its aspirations.
