OUR STORY

Assedo (pronounced Ah-See-Doh) Consulting offers planning, public engagement, and marketing services for projects in the planning, design, and construction phases of development.

The company was created by Odessa Phillip in 2012. As an engineer and planner, she saw communities fighting against projects.  Under her guidance, Assedo builds transparency and trust, leading to award-winning projects that value and include community insights.

“I realized that too often, design and construction projects were not understood by the very same communities they would affect.”
— Odessa Phillip
