What we offer

Three ways we turn ideas into something you can build

We're a small team with a clear focus: take the ideas, wants, and needs of a community and carry them as far down the road to reality as we can. Here's how.

01

Design Translation

We turn the ideas, wants, and needs of a community — gathered in meetings and on-site — into clear, actionable concepts.

02

Design Visualization

We turn concepts into tangible sketches and renders so everyone can see and rally around the same vision.

03

Design Bridging

We draft schematic designs and scaled drawings you can use to petition for funding, volunteers, and professional services — and we'll point you to the right architects or landscape architects when needed.

How a project usually goes

  1. 1

    Show up

    We come to a cleanup, a board meeting, or office hours in the park — and we listen.

  2. 2

    Translate

    We turn what we heard into a clear concept and a simple one-pager.

  3. 3

    Visualize

    We sketch and render so the whole community can see the idea.

  4. 4

    Bridge

    We hand you drawings you can take to funders, volunteers, and the city.

Free, while we grow

Our current capacity lets us help with small-scale, small-scope projects at no cost — our way of investing in the neighborhoods we love. As the collaborative grows, we'll take on larger paid work and keep reinvesting a share back into community projects.
