Strategic leadership With a recent leadership shift to Whitney Rutter as CEO and Jake Barton as Founder & Chief Creative Officer, Local Projects presents continuity in vision and potential for renewed client outreach around storytelling-driven design and technology integration.

Global project experience A 20-year track record and NYC base with worldwide groundbreaking projects signals capacity to handle large-scale, cross-market installations for cultural institutions, museums, and corporate spaces seeking immersive storytelling experiences.

Tech-enabled design Proficiency in tools like SketchUp, Figma, Firebase, Procore, and Airtable indicates strong capabilities for integrated design pipelines, interactive exhibits, and scalable project management suitable for clients needing tech-forward installations.

Sustainability collaboration Partnerships such as with Fashion for Good and engagements with cultural institutions suggest opportunities to pursue sustainability-focused branding and exhibit work for fashion, museums, and sustainability-centered campaigns.

Revenue scale alignment Reported revenue in the hundreds of millions and a sizable staff imply capacity for multi-million-dollar engagements with mid-to-large-scale institutions, making them a fit for enterprise clients seeking sophisticated, end-to-end exhibit and experiential design.
