Notable project clients include First Green Bank, Stetson University, Barry University School of Law, the University of Central Florida, Girl Scouts of West Central Florida, the cities of Winter Garden, Orlando, and Port Orange, and a commercial/retail development in Windermere.

The business model is project-based professional services delivered through direct client engagement; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the firm relies on direct relationships, professional reputation, and project portfolio presentation via its company website. The company is bootstrapped and founder-controlled, with no external investors, parent company, or subsidiary structure indicated.
