Tribal and Rural Communities

Work in Tribal and rural communities often requires a different pace and a deeper level of care. These places often face limited staff capacity, complex governance, layered histories, and funding systems that don’t always fit a typical approach. We listen first, honor things like sovereignty and local decision-making, and design processes that reflect how communities actually operate. That means building trust over time, aligning planning and design with available resources, and helping communities move forward in ways that respect culture, place, and long-term resilience.
