Let’s work together.

We only take on clients whose work we admire so when we write and create awards submissions, it comes from the heart.  Much like the design process, writing together is a constant exchange of ideas through iteration.  In fact, we think about writing and creating awards submissions much like drawing - combination of intuition and technique, of repetition and refinement.  

This creative process allows us to tailor our writing and portfolios to your audience, whether for potential clients, design juries, or even funding sources. Because we work from the perspective of design architects, we speak the language of architecture but transcend jargon and speak clearly to make meaningful connections with the people that commission, fund, and inhabit your designs.  With extensive experience in every kind of writing about architecture, we can help you clarify and communicate your vision in ways that benefit you and your clients alike.  

Process

Often interrelated with design awards submissions or RFQ’s, we can provide complete turnkey service to prepare portfolios for design award submissions, individual honors, or even RFQ responses that include all relevant writing and graphics.

We can also create original writing to accompany and complement your graphics.  Or we can produce the graphics and you provide the writing. Any balance between these can work well.

You can also send us your writing, portfolios, or awards submissions for review, and we will evaluate them on a variety of levels, depending on the situation and the audience.
