23 Years of Arnett Muldrow
A Story of Planning, Passion, and Perpetual Group Texts
This year, we’re proud to celebrate 23 years of helping communities across the country find their voice, plan their futures, and rediscover what makes them special. Along the way, we’ve racked up thousands of miles, hundreds of maps, dozens of donut shop recommendations, and one epic collection of awkward airport and curious Bed and Breakfast photos.
But more than anything, we’ve been lucky enough to build a team that makes it all work — and makes it all worth it.
Let’s take a moment to recognize some of the people who make Arnett Muldrow what it is:
Aaron Arnett– The voice of reason in every planning meeting. Known for his steady hand, thoughtful strategy, and public presentations that are… shall we say, thorough. If you’ve sat through one, you left informed, inspired, and possibly due for a snack.
Ben Muldrow– Our creative heartbeat, Ben doesn’t just design logos — he tells stories with soul, unearths identity from overlooked history, and makes people fall in love with their hometown all over again. Yes, he holds the firm record for most unread emails and missed calls but when he shows up, he brings magic.
Tripp Muldrow– The guy who talks with his hands, tells a story with his eyebrows, and never met a metaphor he couldn’t stretch into a perfectly planned neighborhood revitalization strategy. If your town needed a new vision, Tripp probably already had one sketched on a napkin.
Shawn Terpack– Shawn has the rare ability to make a wayfinding plan look like art and science meshed together. He’s constantly being pulled from one project to another and makes everything look intentional, even when we’re winging it.
Carla Bridges Jaynes– The glue, the engine, the wizard behind the curtain. Carla is the reason we meet deadlines, look professional, and don’t all just dissolve into a pile of half-baked PDFs and “final_final_REALfinal” drafts.
To all our clients, collaborators, and communities: thank you for trusting us with your stories. We’re humbled by the work, grateful for the journey, and (shockingly) still talking to each other after all these years.
Here’s to 23 years — and plenty more stories ahead.
