To me, effective urban planning is not just about building infrastructure; it’s about understanding and enhancing the social fabric of a city. By focusing on locally informed and community-driven solutions, I hope to create environments where walking, cycling, and public transit feel as natural as driving. My goal is to advocate for policies and design strategies that make cities not only functional but also vibrant, equitable, and inclusive.
Through my work, I want to contribute to a new wave of urban design—one that empowers communities and makes city life safer, more connected, and enriched by the everyday experiences of its residents. Whether it’s rethinking bicycle infrastructure, enhancing public spaces, or improving transit accessibility, I’m driven by a vision of cities as living, evolving spaces that reflect and serve their communities.
This website showcases projects that demonstrate my investigations into the history of urban planning, innovative ways to rethink community engagement, and everything in between. From exploring the evolution of city spaces in my research capstone to beginning to develop an app designed to connect and empower communities, these projects reflect my commitment to understanding and shaping urban environments in thoughtful, inclusive, and forward-looking ways.
Here, you’ll find insights into my research, conceptual work, and practical applications that explore how cities can better serve their residents. Each project highlights my dedication to creating urban spaces that balance historical understanding with modern needs, aiming to foster neighborhoods that feel cohesive, safe, and responsive to the people who live there. I invite you to explore these projects and join me in envisioning a future where cities truly support the well-being and connectivity of their communities.
