All great designs begin with a sketch.

It is more than lines on paper—it’s where imagination meets intention.

Whether it’s a napkin doodle or a layered trace, this is where the story begins.

Urban Acupuncture:
Through strategic design choices, multiple high impact outcomes are able to be achieved.
-Safer crossings, slower traffic
-Trees are not used just for aesthetics—they cool the space, define edges.
-Public space with purpose—layered outdoor zones blur the line.
