Beginning with listening & inquiry, David approaches design as a thoughtful intervention within a social-ecological tapestry of natural, constructed, and cultural complexities, leveraging digital design & visualization tools to facilitate dialogue, build consensus, and validate design solutions for park systems, green infrastructure networks, and urban streetscapes.  A former outdoor guide, he seeks to infuse an ecological and spatial specificity into his work, generating a sense of place within each unique project.  

David joins us by way of Belgium and the Pacific Northwest, having returned to his native Michigan with an international perspective imbued with a sensitivity for local context.  His previous project experience includes green stormwater retrofits, district-wide pedestrian crossing enhancements, and municipal landscapes, among others, as well as an array of architectural work.
