How We Work
At Knot Studio, we work in literal and figurative sites of connection to help people find a way forward through the complexities of our time. We endeavor to reshape uncertainty into clarity, and challenge into opportunity.
To nurture innovative outcomes, we explore the tensions between individual and system; experimental and applied; creating and sustaining. These pairings are unraveled and interwoven again in our work to improve orientation, address injustices, and foster ecological healing.
Our approach is built upon trust and a shared enthusiasm for diverse knowledge systems and expertise.
Environmental Graphic Design
We create memorable, pursuasive, and engaging experiences for people at the intersection of story, site, and architecture.
Landscape Architecture
Our engagement with the natural and built world informs how we relate to others, inspiring movement, rest, and encounter activities.
Environmental Justice
We support our partners in balancing the distribution of environmental amenities to communities with the most need while ensuring that public processes are facilitated using accessible and equitable methods.
Knot Studio is a team of wayfinders, place makers, and change agents committed to shaping the human experience of place and reinforcing the natural systems that sustain all life. We work across disciplines to cultivate an ecology of ideas and build frameworks that reveal meaning, promote equity, and inspire belonging.
We have been recognized for design excellence with over 60 national and regional AIA and ASLA Honor, Sustainability, and Peopleʼs Choice Awards. Knot Studio is a certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) in Oregon and Washington, and a U.S. certified Economically Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB).
