JUSTIN R. WOLF

I'm an accredited LEED Green Associate, writer, editor and strategic communications consultant with more than a decade of experience working in the interrelated fields of architecture, urban design, engineering, planning, and sustainability consulting. Prior to this I cut my teeth in the world of fine art, working with a great many talented artists and commercial art galleries. This site is presented as a thorough (but not necessarily comprehensive) portfolio of my original writings as well as earned media, press releases, ghostwriting samples and more stemming from my career as a communications consultant and PR specialist. I look forward to connecting with you.

Welcome to my portfolio. I am a writer, editor and strategic communications & marketing specialist with a learned passion for urban design, architecture, sustainability, the fine arts, and just about any discipline that is committed to improving the public realm. I am always eager to meet with established leaders and emerging visionaries within these fields. I invite you to connect with me.
