Build a door based on your friends' average height and width. How many are left out?

Using a curb-cut approach, I center underserved groups to benefit a much wider population. As an urban planner and architect, I combine social research and design to co-create nourishing cities for all. Over 16 years, I've led multistakeholder teams for public spaces in North and Latin America—from restoring 30 hectares of urban ecology by aligning eight government agencies, to building cultural venues across NYC's five boroughs.

I work to connect people with their environment, each other, and themselves through community-based design.
