Tools and methods

While capturing and sharing existing knowledge is essential to sustaining a thriving landscape practice, rapid changes in technology provide new ways to thrive through enhanced process. The Development Division of Labs designs tools and methods to improve workflows across our office. From coding of custom software to the definition of workflows and alignment of assets, we are in the practice of capturing process-specific knowledge to enhance our work. The design process is sometimes messy and non-deterministic. Having portable workflows and tools at the ready, allows us to dig through messy design problems and production tasks much more quickly. In this way we can spend more time answering bigger questions and refining our decisions to a higher level of fidelity.

Our goal is to make the hard stuff easier, so that we can get to the stuff that truly impacts people and the planet through inspiring design.
