About Me

- I am a professional Urban Planner and Designer. I treat this as my first draft thought laboratory exploring the intersections between design, infrastructure networks, and real estate value.
Consulting Services
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.
