From centers of learning to sources of inspiration, shared vision to shared resources, our national team understands the power that design has to create, strengthen, solidify, and connect communities. Communities are collective, built on common purpose, civic pride, and combined effort. We draw on these same values in all our work, ensuring partnerships—and projects—that are inclusive, sensitive, engaged, and aware. We believe our work should reflect, celebrate, and advance the communities we serve. And accomplishing that, takes all of us.
