Welcome to my website, I'm glad you made it. I'm David, a recent graduate of the urban planning master's program at Portland State University, and I'm interested in transportation planning, land use, policy, and visual communication. I'm currently the Transit-Oriented Development intern at Sound Transit in Seattle, WA.
I've studied planning in order to make cities more valuable, walkable, and accessible to transit. So far, I've worked on projects in the spaces of multi-modal transportation, housing, and economic analysis. My goal is to contribute to public transportation systems that enhance accessibility, equity, and climate resilience. I'm particularly interested in the intersection of transportation and land use, including transit-oriented development and policies that reduce car dependency. I want to develop a practical and well-balanced practice through hands-on experience in public engagement and careful analysis.
If you're interested in looking at work I've produced in school, please refer to my
selection of work samples. This site was once solely dedicated to my design portfolio, and you can still find those
case studies here.
