Story-driven design is a keystone of our work. Lyric takes an organizational and collaborative approach to our projects - leading coordination and working alongside larger teams with stakeholders, community members, and consultants.

We believe community input is at the heart of every project’s potential success. And we consider how future plans might be leveraged for improving our environment in the long run.

Lyric’s projects consist of wide-ranging scales and budgets from sculptural installations to miles-long greenway connections, and campus-scaled and multi-city vision plans. Through these projects, Lyric has experience building inclusive placemaking for schools, public agencies, non-profit organizations, and advocacy organizations.
