MUSE was recognized as one of the 100 best places to work in Chicago by Crain’s Chicago Business. Courtney Kashima started the firm ten years ago with three clear goals: creating better processes, better plans, and a better place to work. Our team of planners, designers, writers, analysts, facilitators, and administrators is small and mighty, and we’re bound by our shared passion for using our talents and curiosity to design a more just world.
