Physical planning and architecture are beginning to be recognized as important mechanisms to solving global problems at the city level, as participatory processes create healthy communities. To this issue of the Geneva Institute for Leadership and Public Policy Quarterly, I was honored to be asked to contribute. https://lnkd.in/gbt4Yh76

To merely follow global trends is to forever chase the shadows of greater nations. Instead, we must leap ahead, becoming the architects of the future rather than its inheritors. We must stretch our imaginations beyond the conventional, to pioneer the unprecedented. https://lnkd.in/dMkXfFmT

Deeply Grateful. I tend to move quietly and with few words, but I'd like to share a few thoughts from the process and from sitting with the good news: 1. Exposure matters, and putting yourself (especially the unpolished and uncertain side) out there really does make a difference - for yourself and those looking for the path you've cleared. I've been fortunate to do things I once never imagined, not because they felt impossible, but because I hadn't yet discovered the spaces, the tools, or the language to make sense of it. 2. As an artist who has spent hundreds of quiet, solitary hours sweeping and rearranging shattered glass — If something matters to you, show up fully for it. It's important and real if you treat it as such, no matter what it is. That commitment to self, however slow or unassuming, has taught me that anything done with intention has its own value that can translate to all aspects of life, and good will come from it. 3. There's no deadline for growth or success. Celebrate where you're at, celebrate those around you, and embrace the journey on your own timeline. 4. Above all, I'm grateful for the people I get to work and share space with. They inspire me, and I want to get better at showing how much they mean to me. We keep each other moving forward, and we need each other now more than ever, you feel me? Invest in the people you care about and move with intention. This recognition is a reminder of what has brought me joy over the years. Cheers to the journey and to the people who make it all worthwhile. Here's to the next 40 ✌
