From Redondo Beach, CA. Based in London. At home engaging in cities and enveloped by nature.
A self-proclaimed urbanist who thinks people are fascinating, cities are our greatest invention, and life is one endless opportunity to learn — I love trying to figure out better ways for us humans to responsibly inhabit our planet and enjoy meaningful experiences.
