Not been on here much past few months. Other things. But as approach close of tumultuous year I'm thinking of all those still - despite - doing amazing things in design, built environment, education, equity, place making, advocacy. Just some of those who inspire me. Thread:

Back in 2017 we began collaborating with @thewoodyardncl, working alongside them to develop a vision for the yard they occupied, our studio began at the Wood Yard along with a great number of our projects. Two years on and we are still collaborating: https://t.co/U9R4gdwGA8

Conversational Drawings: Project meetings are often driven by a central drawing, curiously these sketches are key to the conversation, yet they have little weighting outside of that moment. This sketch is from one of our ongoing projects: https://t.co/hTgj406BZe
