Process Creative Studios, Inc.

Yeah, we don't post a whole lot these days but it's mostly because we've been damn busy with lots of cool projects. One of them was noted in Crain's this week. Delighted to be doing another project for one of our longest term clients, the Riverside Companies. Great folks that are taking the highest floor between NYC and Chicago! Excited to be doing this great space for great clients!

Riverside sets move to Key Tower's top floor The private equity firm has long enjoyed its Terminal Tower home, but finds it's time for a change.

Very excited for University Settlement and the new project they are doing with the NRP Group. We are designing University Settlement's new offices on the first floor of the building, designed by RDL. Wonderful team and a great collaboration.

NRP, University Settlement team on Slavic Village plan A five-acre vacant parcel on Cleveland's Broadway Avenue where St. Michael Hospital once stood could become home to a $16 million mixed-use development with 88 housing units under a plan by the Cleveland developer and the social service provider.

This was posted yesterday to John’s (yea, mine) personal page. Thought it should also be posted here. Process is NOT going away. We’re just shifting direction a bit and working to deliver design and projects in different manners.

These are the tools of my trade. I love the feel of graphite moving across paper. I also love the feel of the mouse working the cursor. For 25 years, running a business, even a successful, design-based one, took time away from using these tools. No complaints and no regrets; it's been wonderful with many high points. For several years, I’ve felt the need for a change. So, I’m dialing back the pressures of business, including staff, which brings mixed emotions. I want to spend MORE time practicing my trade: drawing, designing, and problem solving. I want to more deeply engage the practice of architecture and design. Call me to talk about design. Call me to discuss collaborations. Call me to explore opportunities.

I am currently working on the wide variety of interesting projects for which we are known. For the larger projects, I have explored collaborations with other firms to help execute these jobs, with my focus on design and client contact. For the smaller jobs, I look forward to performing all of the tasks, allowing one hand on the details throughout a project. This will give me space to breathe and focus on creativity.

Since high school, I have taken inspiration from the great jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins, who, at the peak of his career, took a hiatus from performance to hone his skills. For three years, he played for hours at night, on the Williamsburg Bridge in NYC, ultimately releasing an album called The Bridge. I hope that this small but properly detailed transition is my bridge to re-explore my craft. I look forward to talking. And to that feeling of graphite as it moves gracefully across the paper.
