NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING & DESIGN
I've partnered on neighborhood planning initiatives with affordable housing developers and community development corporations. Select work samples include an RFP submission shortlisted by Boston's Department of Neighborhood Development, a targeted Small Area Neighborhood Study in Memphis, and excerpts from campus plans. My most recent neighborhood planning work supports the Klondike Community Land Trust — learn more about it here.

MS Triangle Report Redacted.pdfSMALL AREA STUDY
This small area study examines one block of South Memphis. Components of the study include land use maps, parcel-level analyses, resident surveys, an overview of recent reinvestments, and infrastructure analysis such as sidewalks and street lighting. I designed the report and all maps and graphics, and I conducted the analyses in collaboration with partners at Neighborhood Preservation, Inc. Text redacted for confidentiality.
Final RFP Essential Village.pdf"ESSENTIAL VILLAGE" RFP SUBMISSION
Responding to a request for proposals from the Boston Department of Neighborhood Development, I submitted this proposal for infill affordable housing in Dorchester with resident leader Corey Thompson. The plan outlines affordable and transitional housing developments, a smaller Passive House, community counseling resources, and includes design elements honoring Dorchester’s African and Afro-Caribbean heritage. I assembled, designed and wrote the report and project narrative (architectural renderings by Aeron Hodges). The submission was shortlisted by Boston DND.
