WHO

STORYN is a group of urbanists, researchers, architects, and interior and product designers. STORYN, as a practice, uniquely balances its work at both the local scale and the international scale, providing precise research of a community’s ethos and project parameters to foster unique spaces that tell a project’s sole story. STORYN’s deeply researched problem-solving strategies result in creative, technologically advanced solutions, designed efficiently and on budget. STORYN embraces projects with numerous complex parameters, and we are interested in distilling the client’s vision and complex constraints to a cohesive design essence. STORYN is committed to civic engagement and how design can promote stronger communities, create more inclusive spaces, foster place making to a neighborhood, and be identity affirming to individuals within a community and greater city. We believe that design is a tool for social change and that strong design is a right for all which enables a voice for the marginalized. STORYN was created on the idea of Story + Design. Our unique vision and design approach is twofold stemming from our experience of actively listening and collaborating with our partners, clients and community, and managing an architectural portfolio that spans the local scale and the international arena.
