Our Mission
We've built a practice around our desire to create vibrant, engaging, and authentic places.
Designing Local is a certified woman-owned business dedicated to helping communities connect people to place through culture. Founded in 2014, our firm was born from the belief that design, art, culture, historic preservation and other important unique attributes of communities are often overlooked in the planning process. We bring an authentic curiosity and passion to our work. We recognize that prosperity and economic development come from strategically planning and investing in our communities’ culture and unique assets.
