Advocacy by Design
You have a mission to change the world- we help you break ground.
Genevieve’s design practice is founded in social activism and community inclusive consensus building. She has assisted a variety of social missions such as income inequality, climate change, and urban revitalization, to connect to the built environment through research-based placemaking.
If you are an organization taking on a topic that is manifested in the built environment, having an urban planner on call is an excellent way to grow your work into a more concrete and constructive space. Utilize design to transition from documenting the problem to testing solutions.
Genevieve’s advocacy design work has been utilized to increase outreach effectiveness, create collaboration between adversarial stake holder groups, win bigger grants, and submitted as expert testimony for CEQA cases.
Whether you’re looking for a mobile touch point or an environmental alternative for a development plan, reach out to Genevieve. She would love to hear about your work.
