DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL PAWJECTS

Meet Frank, our esteemed Director of Special Pawjects at FRMWRK Planning & Design! A dedicated advocate for equitable canine access to greenspaces (and ample treats), Frank ensures every park and public space we design gets his paw of approval. When he's not overseeing crucial projects from his cozy corner office bed, Frank can be found out in the field, paws-on, working tirelessly to test turf quality and snack availability. Off the clock, Frank enjoys long walks (especially on the beach), spending quality time with his ‘hoomans’, and crafting his own micro-brand organic lawn fertilizer.
