Principal

Working with ASK Community Planners is all about collaboration to enhance our client communities and propel them towards their aspirations. We start with a handshake of shared understanding, leading to a thorough exploration by ASK into the essence of the community - encompassing its design and the remarkable individuals who inhabit it.

 

At ASK we take the approach of meeting our communities where they are, to understand what has been working and what hasn’t. There is always an opportunity for investment, in the place itself and especially in the people.

Explorations

Once we start a project, our role is to guide the community toward their vision, using best practices and proven solutions. Please connect with us if you have questions or want to explore a possible opportunity.
