We partner with municipalities and public agencies to plan, design, and deliver projects grounded in equity, led by data, and co-created with the communities most impacted by planning decisions. Over a decade of experience. One focused practice.
Founded by an urban planner and designer whose work spans active transportation planning to public realm and art installations — we bring the rare combination of policy fluency, technical depth, and creative craft to the complex, consequential work of shaping cities.

K Street Lighting Project
Sacramento, CA
A new energy-efficient LED lighting system along K Street does more than brighten the corridor — it strengthens it. Stretching from DOCO to the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, the programmable K Street Marquee lighting improves visibility, enhances pedestrian safety, and transforms one of downtown's most vital streets into a more active, welcoming environment for residents, visitors, and the businesses that animate it. Infrastructure as investment. Light as place.
California bloom
Sacramento, CA
California Bloom is a temporary public art installation by artist Nicole Alvarez, unveiled in late 2025 as part of broader improvements to the upgraded riverfront corridor. Each bench depicts the gradual, vibrant bloom of California poppies — bringing color, life, and unmistakable local identity to one of downtown Sacramento's most active public spaces. Art as infrastructure.

Community Crossings - In progress
Sacramento, CA
This project reclaims 750 square feet of public street space at three critical pedestrian crossings at Stockton
Boulevard and 14th Ave—transforming a documented High Injury Network (HIN) intersection into vibrant, culturally significant public art that prioritizes pedestrian safety, celebrates Stockton Boulevard’s diverse cultural identity, and supports business vitality and economic sustainability.

Little Italy Wayfinding- In progress
Sacramento, CA
Little Italy existed and preceded the city. Arriving with the Gold Rush, Italian-Americans put down roots. In 2021, City Council officially recognized 24 square blocks in East Sacramento as the historic district it always was. This project gives that designation a physical form: signage, announcing arrival, celebrating cultural identity, and community visibility. A neighborhood that built itself over generations deserves to see itself in the streets. PM: Blair Czarecki | Artist: Paige Smitherman
Plaza Park Activation
Sacramento, CA
Plaza Park is a reminder that public space belongs to people. Funded through the SMUD Shine grant program, this project transformed an underactivated downtown square into a public destination. Colorful furniture, a mobile outdoor reading cart , an Imagination Playground of building blocks for freeform play, and custom ping pong tables. Not a renovation. Not a capital project. A commitment to showing up for a public space. PM: Blair Czarecki | Artist: Yennie Zhou, 2hermano, Jolene Russell
Tenderloin community garden
San Francisco, CA
A neglected backyard at 375 Eddy Street in the Tenderloin needed a transformation. This community-driven renovation converted an underutilized outdoor space into an urban oasis complete with a half-court basketball installation, sustainable watershed design, and flexible infrastructure built to evolve alongside the youth and families it serves. Community needs, met with intention.
