I love transportation because of its connection to people's lived experience with movement. As I walk, cycle, and take transit, I find myself considering the day to day of all kinds of commuters and how the design of our systems influences who gets access and who does not. As a designer, I take pride in re-imagining infrastructure to create more equitable and sustainable networks for everyone.
