let’s build better places for people

We’re likely a good fit for collaboration, if, like me, you’re obsessed with this stuff:

⭐️ Helping people build community with friends and neighbors in their hyperlocal area

⭐️ Ensuring people’s access to abundant, affordable, thriving public spaces and third places

⭐️ Supporting or inventing initiatives that create more joyful, connected, vibrant neighborhoods

⭐️ Creative approaches to urban design and infrastructure that foster lovable communities

⭐️ Increasing safe walkability and banishing car-dominated planning paradigms to the annals of history

⭐️ Coming up with more usable, lovable, human-centered design patterns for the design of apartments and neighborhoods so our places can foster healthy neighborhood networks instead of isolation and loneliness

⭐️ Creating, retrofitting, and redesigning neighborhoods to make it easier for friendship and community to thrive
