Question 2

Q: Your illustrations have the power to transform complex urban ideas into vivid visual narratives. Can you share an instance where your illustrations played a pivotal role in fostering understanding and support for a particular urban development project?

A: Many times there will be an advocate, stakeholder or decision maker who has a great vision but doesn’t know what to do with it or how to express it. They may be limited to the words they say, or data that establishes their case. As an urban designer, it is our job to translate these initial descriptions into something visual. You might not see an opportunity site if it is dirt, or a surface parking lot, but after you see what we can create, it will help you imagine the future potential of the site much better.
