I am thrilled to announce the success of our first year in business as Foxtail Studios LLC. In our first year, we completed our first commercial project and have two additional projects currently in the construction phase. We also developed our first Seedlings Series of pre-design plans, which are open to the public for purchase. Furthermore, we have formed valuable relationships with clients, colleagues, and other professionals in the industry. I am extremely grateful to our clients for trusting in our expertise, and I appreciate the contractors for believing in our design and process to execute our projects successfully.
2024 Foxtail Studios Projects.
In addition to our design and project management work, Foxtail Studios LLC places great emphasis on establishing a learning studio. I have had the incredible opportunity to engage with outside offices in their lunch and learn series, learning about new products and construction standards. I also had the chance to travel to Newton, Kansas for the State Historical and Preservation Conference, which was beneficial in understanding how communities around Kansas were leveraging state and federal tax incentives and diving into standards of historic projects. Additional product research and webinar opportunities have also become integral parts of our continuing education platform.
Our biggest challenge is attracting new leads and new design work opportunities. This requires high levels of engagement while maintaining the quality of work required by our existing clients. Our initiative for 2025 is to give back to our local community and refine our client welcome experience to maximize transparency in the design process and how architects can benefit their work. The journey of establishing our processes while executing the work is a continuous exercise in refinement and patience. Again, we are extremely grateful to the clients who have been with us as we expanded into new programs and software to execute our vision. We utilize Revit for maximum efficiency in coordination and clarity in documentation. Today, design renderings are completed through Revit, Twinmotion, and/or Photoshop to quickly capture the essence and investigate various materiality.
If I were to select keywords for the first year of Foxtail Studios LLC, they would include knowledge, family, and faith. Again, I am entirely grateful to all those who have helped in the last year, from proofreading to editing to the subcontractors who have exceeded my expectations. Thank you all, and cheers to a year.
