Hi neighbor! My name is Chloe and I am an independent creative thinker exploring the intersection of belonging, children and families, education, and the built environment. My work sits somewhere between urbanism, placemaking, storytelling, and community care. I’m especially interested in how spaces shape the way people feel, connect, learn, and grow.
With a background in arts education and nonprofit work, I’ve spent years supporting children and families through trauma-informed programming, relationship-centered leadership, and mission-driven work. Lately, my curiosity has expanded toward designing more welcoming, human-centered environments from schools and public spaces to neighborhood gathering places and everyday moments of community life.
This space is part studio, part journal, part independent course of study: a place to document ideas, questions, projects, and inspirations as I learn more about creative placemaking, urban planning, intentional design, and what it means to create spaces where people truly feel they belong.
I believe beauty, care, imagination, and thoughtful design can change how people experience the world, especially for children and families.
