Designing for a Future That Needs Us More Than Ever

Inspired by ASLA National’s call to action, dwg. stands alongside their mission to shape a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable world. Today we are facing a world that is shifting beneath our feet—politically, environmentally, and socially. Protections for natural and urban landscapes are being rolled back, funding for environmental initiatives is at risk, and communities are grappling with uncertainty. As trust erodes and resilience is tested, the need for purposeful design has never been greater. This is not just an industry challenge— it’s a call to action.
At dwg., we see these shifts as a mandate to design with urgency and intention. Our landscapes are not passive; they actively shape a better future. Whether through ecological restoration, public art, or urban spaces our work and practice is diverse, equitable and inclusive. We create work that does more than exist — it makes an equitable impact and by integrating diverse perspectives, we ensure our work fosters connection and reflects the people they serve.
Inherently, our projects represent places of renewal, transformation, and unity. They challenge convention and serve as catalysts for change and models of stewardship. Every project we take on is an opportunity to push boundaries and craft solutions that leave a lasting positive impact — not just on the land, but on the lives it touches.
Looking forward, the challenges ahead will demand bold ideas and fearless creativity. True sustainability means protecting our environment while ensuring shared spaces are accessible and meaningful for all. This moment asks designers, collaborators, and communities to step forward.
At dwg., we’re not just designing landscapes. We’re designing the future.
