I am curious and driven to find solutions for how public spaces can provide meaningful habitat and environmental services while inspiring curiosity and enjoyment of nature in the people who visit them. I love to design spaces but my true passion is getting into the nitty-gritty of how projects can be implemented to the achieve the ambitions of a concept, whether that means finding new technical solutions, inventing new design workflows to manage complex data, or developing new partnerships.
