Process: We craft our design process around the specific needs of the client and community. Working with the future users of the project, we use public meetings, community walks, interviews and other techniques to identify issues, needs and assets. Our process then employs a broad range of graphic techniques and media to communicate design scenarios and ultimately tell the story of the project. For Oakland 2025, shown below, we employed a full range of community engagement techniques, building on community organizing that preceded our work.
