Our Story

With more than 50 years' combined experience in city planning, historic preservation, strategic thinking, and community engagement, we bring deep expertise in the City of Aspen's and Pitkin County's land use regulations and design standards, as well as in urban and rural growth management.

Our team includes a certified planner (AICP) and GIS professional holding a Master's in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Colorado Denver, with prior experience reviewing over 200 development proposals for the Town of Silverthorne and Summit County, preparing staff reports, supporting long-range planning and grant work, and producing GIS, AutoCAD, and Adobe graphics.

Rooted on Colorado's Western Slope and working regionally and nationally, we pair a genuine appreciation for the social, cultural, built, and natural character of communities with the coalition building, public engagement, and in-depth analysis needed to deliver high-quality projects that serve both our clients' goals and the public interest.

What Guides Us

Principles, not just process

A consistent set of commitments shapes how we approach every site, every code, and every community we work in.

Respect the Land

We design with topography, ecology, and viewshed, not in spite of them. The land sets the terms.

02

Plan for Permanence and Economic Value

We optimize for places that hold their value and their integrity decades after approval.

03

Earn the Approval

Clear submittals, honest analysis, and credibility at the hearing table move projects forward.
