Let's make history.

After decades of working across sectors in Philadelphia and the surrounding area, we’ve officially arrived! From our new studio in Rittenhouse Square, we’re taking on projects from Center City and Central Pennsylvania to New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and beyond. We’re inspired by Philadelphia’s rich history as the “Cradle of Liberty” and its legacy of tolerance and activism—and we look forward to building on the city’s strong foundation of progress. Learn more about some of our recent work in the area and meet our team.

The Philadelphia studio is led by Laura Morris (second from right), Health Practice Leader and principal, and Robert Clemens (right), Managing Director.
