What We Do

Strong solutions start with shared beliefs.

Clients come to SWT for an engaging, delightful process and a talked-about finished design. What’s under the hood?

A set of values that we practice every day. CHOPS for short.

Collaboration

Good ideas can come from anywhere. We listen closely and remain open before forming our opinions. We seek common understanding and encourage wide-ranging input through constant inquiry.

Steadfast

The long view looks bright. We practice dedication and commitment. We are loyal and respectful of our profession. We invest in personal growth. We are steadfast in our beliefs and principles; if we believe in something, you can count on us to speak up.

Honesty

Clear is kind, and transparent communication holds us together. We tell the truth as a sign of respect. We navigate every conversation with professional candor and compassion.

Originality

Innovation is constant and perpetual. We continually strive to make things new and push things forward in a unique way. We are most excited about the spaces we help create. To develop these one-of-kind designs we draw inspiration from nature, place, and the community members we meet.

Passion

Creativity is a current that never stops flowing. We choose to tap into it every day. For every project, we add a new detail or a different method. We find great joy in the act of creation, and we seek to pass that joy to the end-user.

We are always interested in talking with talented individuals
