My work centers around the development of strategies for the regenerative performance of project sites and systems. In the field of landscape architecture and urban planning, I have endeavored to align multi-scalar design intentions and partnership capabilities in order to maximize collective impact.
One of the most exciting roles that a designer gets to play is that of a connector. My favorite projects not only explore our ability to bring people together but also contribute to and pull from adjacent fields through data collection and research. I aspire to link theory and practice with measurable outcomes that can inform future work.
I believe rethinking our cities’ physical infrastructure must be seized as an opportunity to build social equity into our urban fabric. This belief drives my design work and fuels my passion for research.
