Artist. Urbanist. Chicagoan.

For the 12+ years I have lived in Chicago, the city itself has been both canvas and muse for much of my work intersecting art, urban planning, and social justice. Some highlights include:

  • A 6-year partnership with the University of Utrecht’s Urban Geography master’s program

  • Developing a unit on gentrification for third-grade Latin School of Chicago students

  • A multi-year oral history project of Uptown’s Argyle St.

  • Design, delivery, and promotion of dozens of walking tours
