what’s it look like?
-
We love to partner with local artists, community leaders, and organizations to employ fun, interactive, and strategic community engagement processes. We’ve helped develop community working groups, game-based tools, and community-driven data collection efforts to get community members more involved in shaping the places they call home.
-
We execute urban planning projects at neighborhood, city, and regional scales. Whether it’s a comprehensive plan, parks and green space strategies, an economic development analysis, regional asset planning, district and corridor activation, or a transportation plan, we’ve got you covered.
We can analyze what’s working (and what isn’t), crunch data, make maps, plan sites, offer recommendations, and develop a roadmap for getting your project done.
-
Maybe you have an idea and you want to know the best place to put your project. We can help you navigate the landscape based on the physical and social conditions at hand.
Better yet? We can package it in a really pretty map.
-
Policy is the foundation of lasting and sustainable change. But we know it’s difficult to navigate.
If you need help translating plans into sustained action, we can review your goals and objectives to identify underlying policy frameworks affecting your project. Then we provide detailed policy recommendations to support your vision.
-
Need help moving from an idea to a first draft? Our team can develop your vision, investigate examples, and formulate sketches, concepts, visuals, and frameworks. We can also investigate local regulations to understand your project's feasibility.
-
We help spaces come alive — whether it’s for one night only or over the course of months, indoors or outdoors. Our team assists in brainstorming, executing, and finding creative partners to host programs, events, or simply brighten up a space.
-
Need some art? Our team can manage public art processes including site identification, call for artist proposals, application review, and project management. Looking to support local artists in new ways? Us too. Let’s talk.
-
We understand that artists, community groups, and nonprofit organizations face unique challenges in accessing funding to implement their community benefit projects. We also know the frustration of learning about a grant in the eleventh hour or after the fact.
We are here to help you navigate the complex funding landscape and identify grant opportunities that may be a fit for your project.
-
Have a cool idea but not sure where start? We can create a comprehensive project proposal, including scope of work, milestones, partnership identification, and relevant stakeholders so that you know just what to do next. And then next after that. And after that. You get it.
-
We work with public agencies to make sure their public-facing processes are accessible and easy to navigate. With a stupendous focus on user experience, we will walk through your process, map it out, identify stakeholders, hiccups, and areas of concern, assemble focus groups, and transform the process to save you manpower, and the user their peace of mind.
