Urban planning · city strategy · spatial design
Design the city.
Connect the pieces.
I shape neighbourhoods, mobility systems and public realms around one question: how can a place work better for the people who use it every day?
PEOPLE / PLACE / FLOWCIVIC LATTICE
01 / Planning philosophy
A city is a
connected system.
Good urban planning makes relationships legible: homes to jobs, streets to transit, public space to daily life, growth to infrastructure, and today's decisions to tomorrow's resilience.
“Plan the connections first. The buildings will tell a better story when the city around them works.”
FIELD PRINCIPLE02 / Expertise
Layers that
make places work.
Capabilities are presented as planning layers rather than artificial percentage meters, because urban expertise is strongest when disciplines overlap.
Mobility
Transit, walking, cycling, street hierarchy and complete-street networks that connect daily destinations.
GIS + Data
Spatial analysis, mapping, accessibility studies and evidence synthesis for confident decisions.
Public Realm
Streets, parks, plazas and civic edges designed around comfort, identity and everyday use.
Climate
Blue-green infrastructure, heat mitigation, flood resilience and nature-positive urban systems.
Engagement
Clear consultation formats that turn local knowledge into actionable planning intelligence.
03 / Selected work
Plans with
a pulse.
Representative planning stories focused on the urban problem, the spatial move and the outcome for people and place.
CASE / 001 · DISTRICT FRAMEWORK
River Loop Quarter
Reframed a fragmented growth corridor as a mixed-use district linked by a continuous blue-green public realm, frequent transit and a walkable civic spine.
CASE / 002 · MOBILITY
15-Minute North
Mapped daily destinations, transit gaps and pedestrian barriers to guide a neighbourhood accessibility strategy.
CASE / 003 · PUBLIC REALM
Market Street Commons
Converted an over-scaled traffic edge into a civic street with shaded walking routes, flexible gathering space and safer crossings.
04 / Experience
Working across
urban scales.
Experience spanning strategic plans, district frameworks, neighbourhood studies and implementation-focused public-realm work.

05 / Impact markers
Evidence over
ornament.
Selected measures that show the scale and consistency behind the planning practice.
06 / Contact
Bring the
place into focus.
