About Narrative Designs

Where Place and Story Meet Welcome to Narrative Designs, where urban planning and design collide with creativity, storytelling, and a little bit of fun. We’re all about amplifying the unique identity of neighborhoods and communities through thoughtful design and meaningful connections. What We Do: Think of us as part urban planner, part graphic designer, part storyteller. We bring neighborhoods to life by: 1. Providing planning and design expertise that uncovers, develops, and amplifies a sense of place. 2. Crafting hyper-local goods like custom flags and artistic maps that celebrate community pride. Whether it’s helping your community craft its story through placemaking or creating a flag for your neighborhood we bridge the gap between vision and execution. Why Narrative Designs? We’re not your average consultancy. With deep expertise in planning processes and design, we bring a fresh perspective to every project—pulling inspiration from all corners of the creative world. We take our work seriously (ourselves, not so much) and believe the best ideas come when curiosity, creativity, and joy collide. Founder: Narrative Designs was founded by Steve Chester, a seasoned urban planner and designer with over 15 years of experience. Steve’s approach blends a love for data and details with an eye for visual storytelling and a passion for making connections—both between people and the places they call home. Featured Services: Visual Storytelling Place-Based Planning & Design Demonstration Projects Featured Goods: Community Cartography (artistic maps) Neighborhood Flags Hyper-Local Designs Our Motto: Every place has a story. We help tell it.
