A little bit about myself.
Planner, designer, reader, athlete, and movie enthusiast.
I am AICP certified from the American Planning Association with six years of local government experience in State College, PA. I’m trained as an urban planner and graphic designer, I bring an artistic sensibility to the physical, social, and environmental aspects of my projects.
Planning is about people, and I’m committed to broad engagement, moving the process forward while never losing sight of the purpose of my work. I have been inspired by the voices and dedications of communities, and I am committed to building stronger, better and more equitable places.
Design is a way of thinking, of determining people’s underlying needs, and then delivering products and services that help them. Design combines an understanding of people, technology, society, and business. My passion for economic development and redevelopment—moving jobs closer, enabling vibrant mixed use communities, and restoring the historic fabric of places is what drives me. I want to build healthy economies in order to have healthy communities.
I am currently taking freelance projects.
