Seeking Opportunities to Recapture Publicness and Inclusion
Senior Urban Designer and Project Manager with a multi-disciplinary knowledge-base in neighborhood analysis, planning policy, community engagement, public realm design and green infrastructure. Holding degrees and substantially practiced in architecture, planning/ development and landscape architecture, I am interested in pursuing opportunities to facilitate and collaborate in generating meaningful public realm design. The goal of such environments is to respond thoughtfully to the local and micro context especially within the realm of community design and landscape urbanism to unify community, enhance mobility, and increase economic development all while reinforcing our connections to natural systems.
