My experience is a progression of education stemming from a love of math and engineered things into a realization that urban infrastructure was lacking a connection to green spaces.

I have a strong conviction that thoughtful design of the outdoor spaces around us will propel the greatest revolution in human experience outside of pure transhumanistic endeavors.

“I will simply say, “It was there.””
