Through design, my mission is to create sustainable systems and spaces that inspire human interaction and good will for the community and environment.

My vision is to provide meaningful and authentic support to community partners, together with professional design, to present viable community led outcomes. To best respond to a community, I need to be engaged in local advocacy efforts, working side by side with community leaders and grassroots activists. 

My work is informed by deep partnerships with local organizers and activists to give the community a “place at the table” in decision making; to promote sustainable and equitable community development. I promote community participatory design-build processes, to foster connections between existing programs and new solutions, empowering the community with a sense of ownership and engagement. 

I believe in using a transparent, participatory process which ensures that my solutions reflect user wishes and needs. By giving users an active role in the design process, a sense of lasting ownership is created.
