Case Study: dwg. achieves a thriving, well-cared-for team with Gusto

Studio dwg. works with Gusto

dwg. is an award-winning landscape architecture and urban design studio in Austin, TX with a growing team of 26 people. Rooted in a community-driven culture, the firm needed a simple, reliable way to support employee wellbeing and retain talent as it scaled—offering competitive benefits without losing the close-knit studio feel.

By partnering with Gusto (since July 2017), founder Daniel Woodroffe streamlined benefits and people programs—providing strong health coverage, flexible work options, and 401(k) matching—so he could focus on projects and culture. The result: a healthy, engaged team that continues to grow and deliver celebrated public spaces while preserving the studio’s collaborative spirit.
