▪Interests & Activities ▪ Multi-scale design In addition to my enthusiasm toward designing with close attention to the details, I am also very motivated to look for design opportunities within the larger-scale context of neighborhood and community planning. I have great passion for walkable mixed-use infill projects and sustainable urban development. I hope to make a significant improvement in the long-term sustainability of neighborhoods and communities wherever possible. ▪ Travel
