The Women Led Cities Initiative
Even with recent gains in female representation in fields like architecture and city government, the fact remains that the city, as we know it today, has been designed and shaped primarily by men. By bringing women’s voices to the forefront of the urban discussion, the Women Led Cities Initiative aims to achieve a greater level of equity in urban planning and design - both bottom-up and top-down - and start conversations about developing feminist city policy towards greater equality for all people in cities.

Urban Anthropology Consulting
Copenhagenize Design Co.
As an urban anthropologist I've consulted for Copenhagenize Design Company, the multi-disciplinary "go-to team" for cities in all matters relating to bicycle culture, planning, traffic and communications. They approach every job from the human perspective - using design, anthropology, sociology and common sense as their points of departure. Project work includes comprehensive research plans, outreach and education strategies, and participatory planning workshop and facilitation advising for bicycle infrastructure projects in North American cities Long Beach, CA, and Detroit, MI.
