CLIENTS  



My consulting practice builds on almost twenty years producing and publishing multimedia stories at the intersection of urban design and architecture, public policy, and social justice. Throughout, an overarching goal of my work has been to help individuals and institutions articulate their own priorities and tell their own stories.

I can help you make a film, plan a website, write a book proposal, reach new audiences, and deepen your impact.

Want to work together? Please, get in touch.



SERVICES:

Does your organization want to refine its mission, plan for institutional growth, or turn existing work into a book, a film, a website, a podcast? Combining experience in media production, online journalism, urban planning, and design thinking, S/Q Projects offers tailored consulting to turn your expertise into impact.

Community & Stakeholder Engagement
Connecting meaningfully with the people who have a stake in your organization’s work — whether they are neighbors, peer institutions, or policymakers — requires an approach to external affairs that prioritizes deep listening, asset mapping, and community organizing.
