Reconnecting with ourselves, each other, and the world we share

As a systemic designer with a background in architecture, I work to empower diverse individuals and communities to co-create regenerative futures. I believe that meaningful change happens when we reconnect with ourselves, others, and the world we share. By curating opportunities for connection across diverse disciplines, communities, and sectors, I aim to inspire hope through action. My approach is grounded in compassion, humility, and curiosity, and I am guided by the principle that all beings hold unique wisdom that can lead us toward a more loving world.

Architecture

Weaving diverse perspectives, practices, and places

I work with communities and organizations to create spaces where people can reconnect, with the living systems around them and with their own embodied experiences, as a foundation for generating transformative impact. Using diverse methodologies and practices, I support my academic and non-academic partners in identifying leverage points for change, clarifying shared values, and co-experimenting with place-based, culturally-responsive strategies for regenerative sustainability.

Example practices: participatory action research, social network analysis, outdoor experiential learning, workshops and community outreach, systemic design visualization tools.
