Award-winning credibility SWT Design has recent regional recognition for built projects, including an Award of Excellence from the American Society of Landscape Architects in March 2026, which can be leveraged to open conversations with public sector clients and encourage proposal consideration.

Urban green focus The firm specializes in landscape architecture, urban design, complete/great streets, bikeable/walkable communities, sustainable design, and public engagement, aligning with municipalities and developers pursuing livable, eco-friendly transit-oriented developments.

Private to public expansion Recent collaboration with Great Rivers Greenway to ideate greenway concepts signals capacity for large-scale, multimodal corridor projects and potential cross-sell into park districts, regional authorities, and transit agencies.

Mid-market footprint With 11-50 employees and annual revenue in the 10M–25M range, SWT Design sits in a mid-sized niche ideal for targeted RFPs, retainer-based landscape and planning services, and strategic partnerships with larger firms seeking specialized local expertise.

Digital and design tech Proficiency across multiple platforms (WordPress, Squarespace, MySQL, PHP, Nginx) and design-centric tools suggests an opportunity to offer digital collaboration, data-driven site analysis, and public engagement enhancements to streamline proposals and project delivery.
