A New Chapter

September 2025 Update

I’m entering a new chapter, recently concluding my role with MassDevelopment’s Transformative Development Initiative following the graduation of the Springfield TDI District I supported for the past three years—and whether it’s a full-time role, consulting, or something more emergent, I’m looking for people and organizations who are ready to design thriving, liberated places together.

I’m an innovator and artist, a queer urbanist, and a facilitator of big-hearted strategy. I help communities and organizations make meaning, align values, and take bold, creative action—through planning, design, storytelling, and care.

Some of what I’ve done:

• Led multi-million-dollar place-based investments rooted in equity and education

• Convened cross-sector collaborations to reimagine school and neighborhood systems

• Co-designed fashion programs and public events celebrating LGBTQ+ people and all the intersectional identities we hold

• Facilitated dozens of conversations, turning community vision into shared strategy, action agendas, and goal-oriented missions

I’m open to:

• Consulting projects, residencies, or facilitation work (single or multi-day)

• Full-time leadership roles in strategy, creative economy, or placemaking

• Collaborative worldbuilding with artists, designers, civic dreamers & doers

Right now, I’m particularly energized by school-centered neighborhood development and place-based investment strategies working to build thriving communities.

If you're building something that honors place, people, and possibility—I want to hear about it. Let’s talk about designing worlds together. 🌍
