I’m passionate about all aspects of design, from the chair in the room to the buildings and public right-of-ways that make up the built environment. I love cities and view them as the “complete community” as Aristotle put it. In school I studied geography as well as urban planning and policy and I love how people can shape places and at the same time how people are shaped by the places in which they live and visit. For the past seven years I’ve worked as a planner for municipal governments. I’ve learned a great deal about the relationships of public policy on the built environment and I’m excited for this next chapter of my career.I believe the complete communities of the future live at the intersection of good policy and good design.
