Laura Warner

Principal Architect / Design Partner

Inspired by the power of design and collaboration to unite people in improving our world, Laura became an Architect and Urban Planner. As a licensed Architect and founding Design Partner of the firm, she is passionate about leading our team to design places and spaces that are easy to use and encourage people to engage with each other. Those designs range from architectural projects to urban plans to graphic design. It’s this range of design knowledge and strategic problem solving that Laura brings to our projects, resulting in pioneering designs and meaningful collaborations.

She is a design advocate for the integration of land uses with transportation and the capacity of place making to increase civic engagement and improve quality of life. With more than 30 years of experience, she’s skilled in helping urban areas be more sustainable through efficient use of land, transportation, energy and water, as well as leveraging new technologies to equitably benefit our communities.

A broad base of clients have come to rely on Laura’s leadership and integrity to efficiently bring their projects from concept through to completion.
