Aesthetics
Creating spaces that people want to be in. Spaces that make the people walking by or stopping in, just a little happier.

Community Building
We cannot connect with each other: simple smiles, jokes shared between strangers, and chance encounters with potential friends, when we are all in individual 1-ton boxes going 70 miles per hour.

Walkable
The gym of life. The easiest way to get quick shopping trips accomplished and the most fun way to spend leisure time with friends. Walking around, people-watching, shopping, stopping into a coffee shop on the way home from dropping something off at a friend’s house.
My personal interest in city planning focuses on a town’s aesthetics, community building, and designing at the human scale. I am not personally super keen on discussing engineering, traffic metrics, or legislation, those are for someone else to discuss therefore more information on these topics will likely be missing from this blog, so you should do research elsewhere if those are things you are interested in!
