Where the hours go
Today
“By the playground” is located by guesswork, then plotted in Illustrator or GIS hundreds of times per project.
With Senf
Every comment lands as a pin on the site plan. Heat maps reveal clusters; GeoJSON and SVG exports move straight into GIS and presentation boards.
Today
Print the boards, hand out the dots, and count them by hand. Online responses live separately in SurveyMonkey, disconnected from the plan.
With Senf
Upload concept images for residents to pick, rank, or rate. Use the same question on-site via QR code and online, with results tallied as they arrive.
Today
Two pages of methodology and a process diagram that looks the same as every other shortlisted proposal.
With Senf
Put a working survey on the client’s study area directly into the submission. For Carroll Creek Park, the panel opened it during the interview.
In the past we would calculate 60 hours of post-production to go through the survey information. With Senf it's just done.
One connected workflow
Keep the plan, the public input, and the outputs in one project instead of rebuilding the work between tools.
Start with the source file
Upload an illustrative plan from Illustrator, a rendering from SketchUp, or layers from ArcGIS. Senf georeferences it over the map, so residents respond on the same plan the client has already seen—without anything being redrawn for the survey.
Collect input in context
Residents zoom into the plan, pin the exact place where shade runs out, a crossing feels unsafe, or a bench is missing, and explain why. Add image choices, drawn routes, marked areas, rankings, and open text without splitting the project across separate tools.
Turn responses into evidence
Heat maps show where comments cluster, while open text is categorized as responses arrive. Export charts as SVG or PNG, spatial input as GeoJSON or a shapefile, and the full dataset as Excel. Spatial input can also flow into ArcGIS Online as it arrives.
“You could immediately see where most comments clustered, then zoom in and read what people were saying directly in the dashboard.”
Landscape architecture case study
For the Carroll Creek Park refresh, Design Collective used Senf to understand where residents encountered problems and which planting and shade concepts they preferred—then carried that evidence into the design boards.

Built for the full project mix
Use the same plan-first workflow across site scales, project phases, and public-realm questions.
Test ideas for play, shade, planting, circulation, and amenities directly on the proposed plan.
Collect place-specific input across quads, paths, entrances, and phased campus improvements.
Compare materials, seating, programming, and public-realm concepts with residents and stakeholders.
Map missing connections, safety concerns, desired routes, and priorities along linear corridors.
Locate comfort, access, planting, and crossing issues block by block before design decisions are fixed.
Ground resilience strategies in local experience of heat, flooding, shade, and everyday use.
A demo built on your work
Send the plan or rendering from a project you're running, or the RFP from one you're pursuing. We put the plan on the map, draft the survey and website around the scope and send you the live link. You decide afterwards whether it's worth a conversation.
We'll review what you sent and build a tailored live demo around it. Watch your inbox for the link.
