History is built. Constructed. Earned. Won through long experience, trial and error, and above all, the unrelenting commitment to moving forward.
Our history isn’t a story about how we arrived where we are today. It’s the story of how we became who we are today. One that is both deeply personal, and intrinsically interconnected with the history of our country itself.
For more than a century, through peacetime and wars, booming markets, the Depression, recessions, advancements and disruptions, successes and losses, we’ve never stopped questioning. Challenging. Daring. Evolving and adapting in the face of change.
Today, the world is changing faster than any of us can anticipate, or predict. To prepare for the future, we’ll need to look to the lessons of the past, lessons we began learning with our founding over one hundred years ago: to be flexible, and resilient. To always look past the closed door to find the open one. To change what needs to be changed—and stay true to what should never change.
This comfort with ambiguity is the heart of design. Going back to the problem, to the question, to the blank page, over and over again. Beginning with an idea, and developing a vision.
We may be solving new questions, but we’re not starting from scratch. We’re starting from experience. We’re starting from a place of trust— in our capabilities, in our colleagues and in our clients. This is how we take the next step. This is how we write the next chapter. This is how we advance the world.
