A background in community development and environmental justice informs her design approach of working with community stakeholders in a participatory process to support capacity building, achieve place-based solutions and reimagine systems.

Through workshops and walking tours, she gathers residents and engages them in intergenerational conversations about past, present and future community spaces in their neighborhoods. She invites them to design spaces that reflect the values, cultures and traditions of their communities.
