Hi! I’m Amy, and I hope to use this site as a place to document what I learn about urban planning, a field that I find fascinating (and debate pursuing academic education in). It’s a combination of many of my interests (e.g. climate resilience, maps, walkability, equity, and community building). And, I just love how such physical design can improve the psychological and emotional experience of urban living.

Not too long ago, I was an undergrad student studying environmental engineering and varsity gymnast. These days, I work at an energy management firm and rock climb. In future seasons of life, I aspire to get into vegetable gardening, boxing, and woodworking.

In 2020, amid the global pandemic (and privilege) that granted me a copious amount of time, I created this site to track of things I waas learning and thinking about.

Something that comes to mind for me is Robin Sloan's Fish tap essay: that this construction could be "a kind of manifesto about the difference between liking something on the internet and loving something on the internet." It's nice to have a space that stays put in our a never-ending stream of digital content.
