I believe that Design can change the World

Coming from a background in Urban Design & Architecture, I recognize how everything in the world is interconnected - social issues, environmental issues, economic issues - and to me, everyday people are at the center of most challenges. Through design, I strive to create equitable solutions that empower people and give them the ability to make conscious decisions.

Designing responsibly starts with my understanding of the problem - my personal process is curiosity-driven and uses evidence-based research, data analysis & empathy to creatively problem-solve for an equitable future.

Good design, to me, is the most simple and honest solution to a problem
