Above the Fold champions people, practices, and projects shaping the built environment.

Founded by John Patrick in 2012, the agency represents and advises leading architects, designers, developers, institutions, and image makers. Its work has included securing and promoting design teams for more than 80 projects across six continents, with a combined construction value exceeding $6 billion, while also leading integrated public relations and photography.

Since relocating from New York City to Detroit in 2015, Above the Fold has developed Design Team Curation™—a strategic approach to assembling design teams around a simple principle: the right team, for the right project, at the right time. The result is a process that makes contemporary architecture more accessible to clients, communities, and cities without unnecessary complexity.

Working at the intersection of strategy, architecture, business development, and communications, Above the Fold helps clients build enduring practices, strengthen reputations, and deliver projects with lasting cultural and civic impact.
