What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead context-sensitive urban and landscape design, manage development applications, and work collaboratively with communities and multidisciplinary teams.

I am an urban planner and designer with a multidisciplinary background in architecture and landscape architecture, bringing over seven years of experience delivering context-sensitive design and policy solutions for public and private sector projects. My work is grounded in technical expertise, strong visual communication, 3D modeling, and an understanding of community needs, evidenced by contributions to land development, municipal applications, and public engagement processes.

I specialize in urban planning research, subdivision concepts, development applications, and graphic communication, and I have led consultation processes, prepared planning reports, and coordinated sub-consultants. I combine technical skills (AutoCAD, GIS/ArcMap, Rhino, SketchUp, Lumion, Adobe Creative Suite) with stakeholder engagement and facilitation to translate community feedback into viable planning and design outcomes.
