Senior Urban Designer

Town of Mt Crested Butte

Focused on community prosperity, housing development and environmental stewardship as the Chief Executive and Chief Administrator over all town affairs, including all departments and twenty-eight personnel. Responsible for creating and maintaining healthy, community-based relationships that foster responsible growth and collaboration across the Gunnison Valley. 

During my 1-year tenure, I integrated a strong team of new staff into an already great pool of individuals. Together we tackled a series of critical tasks including a Strategic Plan, a Master Plan, affordable housing programs, a Wayfinding Program, reorganization of departments and processes to increase efficiency and staff satisfaction, infrastructure safety projects, and several grant applications. Understanding that growth is inevitable in small resort communities, we focused on how to manage and mitigate that growth responsibly & with community goals in mind.

Contract Consultant

CIVITAS INC

At Civitas I had a variety of roles working across disciplines designing, engaging, collaborating, and problem-solving. I began leading projects in my second year at the firm and establishing long-term relationships with clients, local and regional government agencies, and sub-consultants. My most recent efforts focused on consulting for complex urban organizations including cities, medical centers and entertainment districts. Using a data driven process, intense collaboration, critical observation, active listening skills, and trust-building across public and private sectors, I was able to identify challenges and opportunities; align policy-makers, stakeholders, and community members; and maintain focus on implementation. 

I was involved in Urban Design, Master Planning, and Landscape Architecture projects throughout my 12+ years at Civitas, leading to a large portfolio of built work. I was a member of the leadership team, led our employee training program and supported IT development.

My project work spanned across the U.S. from South Carolina to Missouri to Colorado to Oregon, to name a few; as well as Canada and Afghanistan. More information on select projects can be found in the Projects section of LinkedIn.

Urban Designer, Project Director

Project Connect, via Civitas

As an Urban Strategy Consultant for the City of St. Louis, I led the development of the “Project Connect” program, which was a series of inter-agency special projects. Project Connect was the result of successful marketing to the nation’s geospatial intelligence and defense support agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (Next NGA West), to locate in a distressed area of the City of St. Louis. A project of this size and complexity warranted a combination of physical, social and policy changes to respond to the needs of NGA as well as existing and future residents and businesses. Each aspect of Project Connect, identified through an iterative three-year process, was vetted for community benefit, technical feasibility, economic viability, alignment between various stakeholders, and financial resources to implement the project in the specified timeline. To accomplish this, I embedded within the City’s economic development office, led a team of subconsultants and City staff, and led community engagement.

This program has catalyzed new development, including a new MLS stadium, and funded infrastructure; while implementing policies to respect current residents and align public and private activities. The program’s success led to its establishment as a new division of the economic development arm of the City.

The program continues today, spanning two Mayors and two Presidents, with multiple funded and under-construction projects to be built over a 10-year timeline.

Washington University Medical Center, via Civitas

The WUMC campus is a complex healing, teaching, working, and educational environment of 26,000 people. Over the years, the hospitals and schools have grown in an organic and opportunistic fashion, which led to a compact and dense campus. This growth pattern created a cherished academic and clinical culture unique to WUMC, but it also created an urban environment that is non-intuitive and difficult to navigate. Our firm was engaged in 2011 to tackle future growth challenges, which led to my long-term relationship with the WUMC client group.

In 2011, I was involved in the WUMC Urban Design Vision Plan which brought BJC, BJH, SLDC, STLCOP, and WUSM into alignment on a common vision and set of goals for future growth over the next 25 years. The process engaged the institutional leaders in a dialogue to enhance trust and communication at all levels of each institution toward improving the quality of the patient experience, and enhancing the quality of the campus for staff, faculty and students, with the goal of building a healthy campus of the future. 

In 2013, I led on a more detailed planning study, including recommendations for growth over the next 25 years for WUMC and a new Innovation Community, Cortex Innovation District, which together occupy a 400 acre “District”. This planning study led to a Comprehensive Traffic and Mobility Study in 2015, which is now guiding further efforts to realize the actions identified in that study. 

I maintained continual engagement with the client group, and in 2017, led initial implementation of the Mobility Study, with 3 new streetscape design projects, and the facilitation of a Transportation Demand Management program to increase multi-modal access to the campus, help mitigate traffic congestion, and reduce the need to build additional parking structures. 

Continuous alignment of all campus entities, and their various goals and needs, has been critical to campus growth & continues to influence successful construction projects.

National Western Center Master Plan, via Civitas

I was the lead urban designer and project manager, as a subconsultant to PB, for the 250-acre National Western Center (NWC) Master Plan. NWC is a partnership between the City and County of Denver, the National Western Stock Show Association, Colorado State University, History Colorado and Denver Museum of Nature and Science. During this process we facilitated conversations with stakeholders, community members, and civic leaders to envision a place that honors the historic agricultural activities on the site, creates educational opportunities, and enhances the campus in order to respond to its place in the City. This included extensive urban design layout, program allocation, parks and open space, and transportation studies; as well as planning principles and phasing. This 1-year effort culminated in the current Master Plan, which is guiding the ongoing development of NWC.

Owensboro Medical Health System Redevelopment Plan, via Civitas

I was the project manager and urban designer for the repositioning of the 30-acre OMHS Parrish Campus hospital site into a Primary Care and Cancer Treatment Center with a focus on education & physician recruitment. The Parrish Campus originally housed 900,000 square feet of general hospital uses, physician offices, administrative space, educational uses and cancer treatment and research. When OMHS decided to move the main hospital uses off-site they wanted to repurpose this campus, while respecting community needs. The new Parrish Campus reduced the building square footage to approximately 210,000, removing obsolete buildings and renovating an existing building that was to remain. This allowed for incremental redevelopment of the site while allowing OMHS to remain a community resource and house key hospital system programs.

I led this project with the lead principal and our Economic Development Analyst, HR&A Advisors, to produce a Vision Plan, Market Study, Community Report, Repositioning Plan and Phasing Schedule. This project was completed and built as planned, and ahead of schedule.
