Three of our principles had the opportunity to speak at APATX 25 State Planning Conference.

Thank you for a wonderful event!

Abby from our team is heading to Providence, Rhode Island this week for CNU 33! 🌆✨

Hosted by the Congress for the New Urbanism, this year’s conference will dive into the intersections of urbanism, equity, sustainability, and design — and Abby’s excited to connect, learn, and be inspired alongside other passionate changemakers.

If you’ll be at , reach out and connect! She’d love to meet up and chat about how we’re shaping more resilient, people-focused places together.

Last weekend, our Austin crew picnicked in the iconic Kingsbury Commons at Pease Park — and it was a blast! ☀️🧺🌿

It was such a joy to bring together both of our Austin offices post-merge, hang out with partners and kids, toss the frisbee, and cool off at the splash pad. Nothing like good food, great company, and a beautiful park to kick off summer right.

Big thanks to Pease Park for being the perfect backdrop to connect, unwind, and celebrate what makes our team so special. 💚

Currently studying design at UT Austin, she’s excited to help shape spaces that bring people closer to nature — and we’re just as excited to have her on board. Let’s go! 🌿⚙️🧵

Lionheart isn’t just our name, it’s who we are:
Lion: strategic, brave, leaders
Heart: curious, collaborative, inventive

These qualities are often seen as opposing forces (and even worse, are associated with gender binaries!). Working with Lionheart means that we engage all of our strengths for comprehensive thinking and expansive creativity.
