WHO WE ARE

Architecture without the ego.

Founded in 2019, Process is a full-service, COBID-certified architecture firm based in Portland, Oregon.

Our job is to guide the process with care: anticipating challenges, aligning decisions with real goals, and making sure every person at the table feels informed and confident. Not just at the finish line, but every step of the way.

The result is work we’re proud of and partnerships that last.

Our Team

A process built around people

We’re a focused and experienced team that treats every project as a shared journey, not just a set of deliverables. Our team has completed over 50 projects across Oregon with more than $150 million in combined construction value.
