Placemaking is about the doing. It’s a call to action to initiate the tangible, real solutions that affect the every day lives of community members in a concentrated area through activation, enhancement, and high-quality programming. There are many solutions needed to transform our society, and I believe grassroots projects and diverse initiatives centered around placemaking provide a path towards more vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable communities. My current projects include building strong connections within a physical space to a wider innovation ecosystem, and strategic placemaking planning including public art, small business, and pedestrianization. These initiatives support community and economic redevelopment efforts by engaging community members, local government, and business leaders to lean in on a community-led stewardship model to ensure activated spaces and places are the rule not the exception. My services include:

• Placemaking Strategy Development

• Community Building and Engagement

• Visioning Workshops

• Marketing and Branding

• Creative Programming and Activations

• Accessibility Audits

• Partnerships and Resource Development

• Grant Writing and Funding Exploration

• Evaluation and Impact Measurement

I enjoy curating and marketing intentional events and activations that showcase a place’s unique assets plus bringing in the entrepreneurs, innovators, creators, and influencers that are pushing the boundaries to create an identity of place. Is that you?
