Acre Narrative Design Information

At Acre Narrative Design we collaborate with individuals, communities and organizations to tell stories that contribute to conservation of land and water, preservation of heritage, and building stronger healthier communities. Acre was founded on the notion that well told narratives of people and place are powerful tools. Our human experience is inextricably tied to the landscapes in which we live, work and play. We form individual, community and generational connections with our places. They are the settings for our lives and sustain us physically, emotionally and spiritually. We capture and communicate these relationships through narratives… stories. Stories help us preserve special places, understand complex places, re-create lost places, imagine new places, promote amazing places and catalyze change for places. At Acre, we help people tell stories of, and for, their meaningful places. Acre utilizes a collaborative research driven design approach to cultivate stories. We interview stewards of history and land. We walk and read their storied ground and gather the full context of the place. This harvest of heritage yields the grain of the story… memories, experiences and ideas borne by life on the land. From this grain, we create. Acre tailors the medium, format and style of every narrative to best suit the objectives of our individual clients. Our services include all of following: VISUAL STORYTELLING: Transformation of stories, information and ideas into visual narratives NARRATIVE LANDSCAPES: Designs for places that tell stories PR FOR PLACES: Narratives that promote places and educate and inform visitors and donors.
