From a young age, I was drawn to the idea of shaping cities and spaces that bring people together. This passion has taken me across the globe, studying in the United States, Russia, and Germany. Each experience has helped me develop the flexibility and adaptability to work effectively across diverse regions, allowing me to blend cultural insights into every project.
As an Indigenous person, my background profoundly shapes my views on urban design and the importance of equity in projects and environments. I believe that every community deserves a voice in the development process, and I strive to ensure that all perspectives are considered, fostering inclusive spaces that reflect the needs of diverse populations.
My experience spans large-scale city infrastructure projects and master plans for new cities across the United States, the Middle East, and Europe. Working on these ambitious projects has deepened my understanding of the complexities of urban environments and the significance of integrating sustainable, functional design into every layer of a city.
Understanding community needs and aspirations is central to my work, and I take a hands-on approach, whether I’m focusing on acupunctural city interventions or exploring urban design for new communities. I see each project as an opportunity to create meaningful connections and improve quality of life. My goal is to transform visions into sustainable, dynamic spaces where people can truly live, work, and connect.
