"Agency is a mission-driven practice dedicated to addressing social equity, cultural vitality and environmental resilience through design excellence, strategic planning and community engagement. [They] believe that – in order to address the most challenging issues of contemporary society – diversity and inclusion are foundational to how [to] see, understand and, ultimately, shape collective experience, particularly in the public spaces, parks and streets of our cities. [They] seek landscape and planning opportunities that allow [themselves] to partner meaningfully with constituents, that welcome many voices and hands in the process, and that produce outcomes that are deeply connected to the richness and uniqueness of place. Agency is a woman-owned small business and certified DBE/WBE practice led by partners Gina Ford and Brie Hensold."
