For Rogers Partners Architects+Urban Designers, founded in 2013 by Rob Rogers based on 25 years of experience, I collaborated with the leadership of the firm on a combination of deadline-driven and longer-term communications and business development goals. This includes crafting thought leadership pieces, such as this op-ed about the importance of rebuilding urban manufacturing. Other projects include devising RFP response strategies, creating marketing collateral and messaging documents, cultivating speaking opportunities, and forging connections to assemble multi-disciplinary teams. This work was primarily focused on public realm and resilient design projects, social infrastructure and educational facilities.
YRG Sustainability
YRG Sustainability (bought by WSP) was a sustainability consulting firm with offices in New York, Chicago, Denver and Portland. I worked with the principals to update the firm profile, approach language and project pages, as well as drafted language for RFPs. Utilizing my contact list, I initiated business development meetings for founding principal Lauren Yarmuth. I also pitched media stories, including this piece in Architectural Record, as well as an op-ed by Lauren Yarmuth in EDC, the official magazine for LEED professionals.
