PROGRAMMING AND PLANNING IS AN ESSENTIAL FIRST STEP
IN DESIGNING PLACES AND SPACES, BOTH PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL.
​
A SOLID PLAN IS ALSO A MUST FOR RUNNING A BUSINESS.
STRATEGIZE. COLLABORATE. SUCCEED.
Let's work together to refine your program and start planning efficiently AND creatively.

We've got a thing for
making plans.
Our planning services start with a program, which we analyze and organize to develop a plan -- or several plans. We've also got a thing for multi-tasking.

FAQ: Hold on. You create business plans? But I thought you're designers?
Yes, yes we are -- but we aren't designers in the stereotypical sense.
​
Well, OK, we kind of are, in that we love to create beautiful things.
​
But our analytical side, the side which views problems as challenges, and looks at all the pieces like a puzzle, that part makes us great business planners.
​
We help entrepreneurs start up companies, so you get off on the right foot (or left, your choice).

Guidance on how to establish your business to meet state and local requirements.

Getting a tax ID number (the IRS doesn't have to be scary -- and it's free!)

Creating and outlining your goals. If you're like us, you have a ton of ideas. Simply organizing them and their associated tasks in a logical order can make a world of difference.
​
Already have those things under control and have been up and running? Whether your business is experiencing some growing pains, or runs like a well-oiled machine, there's always room to improve. Sometimes a fresh perspective from someone on the outside is all you need. We have experience in these management consulting services, and more:
​
-
Business and marketing plan analysis
-
Streamlining (AKA saving money) without cutting corners
-
Talent retention and acquisition
-
Conflict resolution (trust us -- it's SO much easier when you're a step outside of the proverbial box)
​
By the way, if your business offers similar services to ours, we can -- and will -- still help you! We believe in collaboration, not competition...and there aren't enough hours in the day to take on every single client ourselves. We want EVERYONE to succeed -- and every client out there to find the right fit. When we work together, we get to know you -- that includes your style and business model, which means we can refer clients to you!
Several connections in our vendor and consultant network are former clients, and some of our favorite companies to recommend. Let's take on the world together!
