Private Client, East King County WA

community designer/researcher

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.

East King County: design justice within a public-private partnership

Ethnographic research, futuring and coalition work with local leaders inside a large-scale masterplanning initiative — bringing frontline knowledge into rooms it's usually excluded from.
Outcomes include education, opportunity identification, and coalition building.
