As work in the public realm becomes increasingly complex, I push for more integrative and collaborative forms of design practice.
I work at the intersection of design research, community-centered design, and environmental justice and social equity in the built environment.
My eighteen year design career includes over twelve years as a Landscape Architect strengthening access to vibrant public spaces across the East Coast, California, and the Pacific Northwest. Since then I’ve translated my design and planning experiences towards community research, program design, cultural activations, leadership development, and strategic partnership development at the Landscape Architecture Foundation, The Urban Studio, and the 1882 Foundation. My love of place, the communities that shape them, and the ecology systems that sustain them, grounds the work I do today to drive more equitable and just outcomes in our cities.
I am currently a Design Director at Openbox.
