Design for Social Change is a small, nomadic design studio, rooted in the belief that design can challenge systems of power, and that the infrastructure of our societies is the physical manifestation of those systems.

I see the built environment as a reflection of our collective values: who we protect, who we exclude, and what futures we make possible. Through design, I work to question, reimagine, and rebuild these structures toward justice and care.

This work began years ago, in college, while I was tutoring inside a prison, listening to students share their stories, their goals, and the barriers they faced. When one of my students was released with no housing, no job, and no safety net, I realized how deeply inequity is built into the systems and spaces around us. That experience changed everything about how I see design.

Since then, my practice has grown to weave landscape architecture, storytelling, and community-led design, grounded in the belief that change begins in relationships and in small, radical acts of care. I work with and for communities excluded from systems that were never designed for them, creating tools, spaces, and narratives that center dignity, safety, access, and collective agency.

I’m nomadic and collaborative, working across geographies and cultures. I bring a focus on design justice, storytelling, and cultural humility to every project.

This is not a traditional firm. I’m one person, constantly learning, moving with intention, and staying accountable to the people and places I work with. I believe that real change is systemic, relational, and rooted in care.
