Reports
I translate complexity into clarity—authoring sensemaking reports that span philanthropic housing landscapes, advocacy grantmaking evaluations, housing data, and design thinking across California’s housing ecosystem.
I’ve seen the housing system from every side: at the planning counter issuing permits, managing the development of 200+ homes, organizing and advocating across the Bay Area, facilitating design-thinking workshops on housing-related issues and making grants at one of the world’s largest foundations.
Below are examples of sensemaking reports I’ve played a part in authoring.
