| Austin Veum Robbins Partners (AVRP) |
| This year Austin Veum Robbins Partners (AVRP) celebrates its 30th anniversary as one of the leading design, planning, and architectural firms in Southern California. Currently, AVRP has more than 3 billion dollars active in construction costs in the United States and internationally, and has won over 100 awards for outstanding design. Organized around three specialized studios: Urban; Corporate; and Campus&Community; AVRP distinguishes itself from other architecture firms by bringing a rare combination of process, innovation and creation of value to its clients. Long recognized as an expert in high-density development and urban design in the San Diego area, AVRP seeks to carve a niche for itself in the increasingly diverse Los Angeles architecture and design market. Clifford Public Relations is working with AVRP's Los Angeles office to build brand awareness and to position the firm for future growth. |

| Dennis Wedlick |
| Architect Dennis Wedlick (www.denniswedlick.com) began his career working with design legend Philip Johnson; in 2003, he celebrated the 10th anniversary of his own firm, Dennis Wedlick Architect LLC, whose work was featured at the Cooper-Hewitt in the Smithsonian's second National Design Triennial. Wedlick has built a thriving practice known for picturesque, sustainable, and startlingly original design. Although DWA remains true to its initial focus on residential architecture, the firm recently began its foray into institutional design with its award-winning renovation of Vassar College's Environmental Studies Center. Clifford PR was initially hired to promote Wedlick's first book, The Good Home. Since then, our role has expanded to include supporting subsequent publications — including Good House Parts, Designing the Good Home, and the upcoming Good House Hunting — as well as securing coverage for individual projects and more general branding work for the firm.
