Jean Crowther, AICP
- Principal
- Based In Portland
At some point, I was lucky enough to realize that I have two great loves in life: the outdoors and community. And with that comes a personal interest in the health of my neighbors, in building social capital, in equity, in a green and growing natural environment, in fun and quality of life, and in taking an active role in making all of that possible.... and, fortunately for me.... I also realized that there's a profession that lets me impact every one of those ideals in a big and meaningful way.
