Riggs Skepnek

Trained as a painter, architect, landscape architect & regional planner and urban designer, I am a multidisciplinary designer and creative strategist with a passion for forging strong narratives. My work and interests focus on the intersection of people, art, public space and technology.

As an artist and architect, I have an uncommon ability to merge complex systems thinking with a deeply empathetic perspective to engage and envision new opportunities in the contemporary world. I am interested in work that blurs the boundaries between content and experience. Using research and analysis, strong narratives and conceptual design, I help clients understand the complexities of their own cultural, economic and material circumstances. Through design I believe we can enhance the human experience, and improve how we physically interact with products, spaces and services. But by far the most important role I can play in a project is to discern whether or not the client is asking the right question – to develop the best strategies – in order to resolve their specific business issue. I believe in making the design process as intentionally crafted as the product.
