Led the masterplan for a mixed-use district that became a model for sustainable, walkable development. Prepares policy and plans, assesses developments against regulation, runs public consultation, and advises developers and councillors. Strong on both the technical planning and the negotiation and communication that get good places built. Genuinely motivated to create places people want to live in.
