Welcome to the place that makes places. We’re glad you found us.

We help owners, operators, and developers make sense of place.

Wherever the place may be, we’ve developed a process to get us there. From the smallest details to the biggest picture, we dive deep into research, focus on the feelings, engage all the senses, and tell stories that create a sense of belonging.

To us, place is not just where you are, but how you relate to it.

Our work connects people to places in ways that leave a lasting impression (like falling asleep on a corduroy pillow).

Fritz Mesenbrink

ECD & Partner

Every detail was considered in a way that was painfully thoughtful—it literally made my eyes well up. Liljestrand House, Honolulu, HI

Evan Wilson

CFO & Partner

I’m used to seeing architecture built by adding. This was “built” by taking away. Petra, Jordan

Ashley Hildreth

Studio Manager

Only by foot, beyond big beach. The sky opens and the sea spills out. Sometimes the tide is in and sometimes the tide is out. The wind howls, then howls no more. Warm or cold, rain or shine. Little Beach, Oregon Coast

Kim Sutherland

Creative Director

The train from Grand Central travels north along the Hudson River to Beacon, NY. Just up the hill, a former box printing factory turned museum is sprinkled with monumental artworks. The whole experience makes you slow down. Dia: Beacon, NY

Sarah Hollowood

Art Director

Feline fanatic, amateur tap dancer, and enthusiastic list maker who enjoys a decent snack plate. Sarah brings varied experience, an eagle eye, and enthusiasm for research.

Sam O’Leary

Art Director

Paper is flying around the room unnaturally, as though compelled by magic. The whirring of strange machines, the ringing of telephones, and the smell of cigarettes waft from the tiny shop. I continue past, as the door shuts, on my jaunt through SF Chinatown.

Brandon Bidleman

Senior Designer

Wake up, two stops. Breakfast, all day. Black coffee, two eggs. Rye toast, refill. Cash only, Check please. New York, New York. La Bonbonniere, NYC

Kathy Chung

Designer

Uphill battles doesn’t mean getting rid of hills. Maybe it’s building the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. Maybe it’s adapting to the neighborhood’s needs, running downhill for the morning commute and uphill for the hustle home. Maybe it’s less destruction, and more creation. Central-Mid-Levels Escalators, Hong Kong

Kyler Spickler

Producer

Inside a sculpture of a building, you find giant canvases without names all by one artist inviting you to unpack idea and emotion through abstract shapes, colors, and lines. What only you can see is what only you can get. Clyfford Still Museum, Denver, CO, USA

OMFGCO VALUES

1. Everything is an Opportunity

2. Best Idea Wins

3. Stay Outside

4. Water the Plants

Limitations, speed bumps, and course changes are going to be a part of every job—we choose to use them as ways to be more creative and make better work.

We champion an idea meritocracy—a good idea can and does come from anyone.
‍

We approach our work with more questions than answers. By starting with a “beginner’s mind,” we can clear the noise and get to the root of what matters.

Regardless of our titles, our job descriptions are simple: make everyone else’s lives easier. How can we help?
