Feed Overview


Communities already hold the truest, most useful stories of themselves. My work is coauthorship: building alongside communities so their stories become exhibitions, publications, plans, and futures they recognize as their own.

I'm co-founder of In Good Company, a community design studio built on coauthorship. We make exhibitions and publications, run community consultations, and practice collective futuring with the institutions and neighborhoods we serve — planning the future with communities instead of for them.

Balboa Park Cultural District: a truer story for an inclusive future



Coauthorship and outreach with Kumeyaay, cross-border, Black, and Filipino communities toward a cultural district visitor experience plan that reckons with colonial legacies rather than smoothing them over.
Outcomes include an actionable experience plan and durable engagement across a complex array of local and administrative stakeholders.
