INTEGRATED DESIGN STRATEGIES
planning transformative experiences that explore the connections between people, culture, place, nature, and technology
You see the need…
…to adapt to the rapidly changing environment, redefine your organization’s roles and relationships with your communities, and expand into new ways to engage your audiences.
Imagine being guided through a design process where imaginative solutions to such contemporary challenges are envisioned and shaped.

“I don't have words to express my gratitude for the amazing start you gave the project. The ideas you generated, the permutations you experimented with, the concerns about the visitor experience, infrastructure, and process you raised--all of this was critical to helping everyone understand what we were involved in, and it provided a great foundation for moving forward.”
