Hello, I'm Carl.
I'm a senior-level architect (the spaces & buildings kind) pivoting to design research and strategy.
I'm energized by the power of human centered design to create meaningful, accessible, and equitable experiences and improve people's lives.
​
​
Why design research?
​
My journey to design research has evolved as I've experienced the world through the eyes on my son, with insatiable curiosity. I want to know a lot about a lot and help people make things better.
​
Some of areas of particular interest to me are :
Healthy aging: how to make getting older
Spatial equity and
Food equity
​
Transportation & Mobility
I believe mobility is a human right, alongside housing, education, and healthcare; and that access (or lack of it) is a statement of a society's values and its commitment to its citizens.
Smart Cities
The advance of technology represents opportunity for cities as well as enormous risk. A fair and equitable city seeks to co-create these kinds of public goods with its residents (eg its users).
All Ages & Abilities
I'm a new father with aging parents in a society that too often marginalizes the very young and the very old. I believe when we design with these groups' needs in mind, everyone benefits.
