I am a professional Urban Planner and Designer. I treat this as my thought laboratory exploring how bionomics relate to self-organizing, emergent urbanism.
As a professional urban designer and partner of the Planning and Design Firm Space Between Design Studio, I am a trained urbanist who specializes in creating walkable urban developments and analyzing existing places to find the barriers preventing livable, walkable urbanism.
