an urbanist (planning+design) committed to creating resilient and happy cities. I use scenario-driven storytelling, biomimicry and gender-mainstreamed data to shape plans, places and policies that achieve such cities; at the local level, on a global scale. I deliver spatial solutions that are grounded in social and environmental justice, with captivating stories, decisive data and brilliant aesthetics. Well, that's always the goal.
