Unique Partnerships
I create immersive, place-based content by commuting into your community, experiencing it in real time, and translating that journey into a cohesive body of narrative content. Through transit, walking, observation, and storytelling, I document how people move through place and connect that experience to your brand, product, or mission. This service is especially suited for transit-based content, travel gear and products, travel vlogs, and organizations working in urban design, architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanist history.

See your city through the art of sketching. This is a 3-hour guided walking and transit experience that invites communities to slow down, observe the built environment, and document what they see through drawing and conversation.
