Human Systems for Cities
With 15+ years of experience leading research, evaluation, and cross-sector strategy initiatives, I support teams working on complex civic challenges—from livability and public space to housing, infrastructure, and community engagement.
I advise architecture firms, civic consultancies, and public-sector teams on designing urban systems that translate vision into meaningful outcomes for people.
My work bridges community insight, strategy, and evaluation—helping project teams understand how people actually experience places, policies, and programs.
