Services

We strengthen planning and engineering projects by making engagement accessible, clear, and effective. Our role is to ensure technical work connects with community priorities, builds trust, and creates long-term support. 

Community Engagement & Outreach 

We design and facilitate engagement processes that center community voices and ensure stakeholders are informed, connected, and actively participating in decision-making.

  • Stakeholder identification, mapping and strategic outreach, and coordination 

  • Public meetings and workshops with interactive activities designed to gather meaningful input and build understanding

  • Focus groups and neighborhood-based engagement that dive deep into specific needs and priorities

  • Resident-led design sessions that put community members in control of shaping solutions

  • Accessible communication and translation services

Strategic Support & Capacity Building 

We work behind the scenes to help teams deliver effective engagement. 

  • Process design: review existing processes and design efficient approaches 

  • Team preparation: coach staff on best practices for public presentations and engagement delivery 

  • Strategic guidance: advise on sequencing, timing, and approach for sensitive project phases 

  • Partnership support: coordinate coalitions and multi-agency collaboration

Communication & Visualization 

We make technical projects understandable and relatable through clear, story-driven communication. 

  • Public-facing project summaries and fact sheets 

  • Digital presentation materials and project websites 

  • Infographics and visuals that simplify complex concepts 

  • Story-based methods (resident spotlights, videos, narratives) that bring data to life 

Events & On-the-Ground Engagement 

We design interactive experiences that bring projects into everyday spaces. 

  • Walkshops and site-based tours that combine lived experience with planning concepts 

  • Open houses reimagined as interactive learning environments (e.g., hands-on mapping, visuals, and Q&A stations) 

  • Demonstration projects such as temporary street redesigns, pop-up parks, or artistic activations to test ideas in real time 

  • Community events and pop-ups in trusted gathering places (schools, parks, local businesses) 

Workshops, Training & Speaking

We ignite possibility, expand awareness, and build momentum- leaving leaders inspired and equipped with tangible tools to drive action.

  • Hands-on training workshops: Experiential sessions on engagement methods, facilitation techniques, and community-centered design

  • Organizational retreats & strategic planning: Facilitated sessions that align teams, clarify vision, and build pathways forward

  • Speaking engagements: Keynotes, panels, and presentations that inspire action and share proven methods for community-centered change

  • Convenings and network-building: Bringing together cross-sector leaders to foster connection, collaboration, and collective action
