In 2013 I co-founded the design and planning consultancy 3x3 Design. I merge qualitative and quantitative analysis to leverage local resources and investments that strengthen programming across sectors for revitalization projects and sustainable economic development. My work and passion are defined by the intersection of geospatial analysis, diverse ethnographic approaches, and visual communications to create new collaborative avenues at the community, city, and regional level in the United States and Brazil. I have conducted extensive fieldwork and organized collaboration efforts with stakeholders to expand community efforts that encourage entrepreneurialism and expand cultural vibrancy. I have worked with institutions such as UN-HABITAT, the City of Chicago, and El Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte in Madrid. I hold a MS in Urban Planning from Columbia University and an AB in Anthropology from the University of Chicago.
