Beyond my life as a hobby blogger, I’m also a practicing urban planner at BERK Consulting in Seattle. If you are interested in some of the work I’ve done, I’ve highlighted four projects I’m particularly proud of. You can find a full list of projects I’ve worked on in the “Portfolio” link below. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have, I’m always happy to talk shop.
