About the Newsletter

Covering topics from urban mobility and architecture to interior design and dream homes, a newsletter that reminds us where we are matters.

This newsletter is about "how architecture and the built world affect who we are." I write about this topic regularly and share via email with those who opt to subscribe.

The Why

I am passionate about the idea that we are shaped by our physical environment. To become the best version of ourselves, we must be more mindful of our built environment.

I want to dive into the topic of our built environment as a window into gaining new perspectives and as a way to inspire and challenge us to view our spaces and surroundings differently.

How it started & where it’s going

When I started this newsletter in 2020, my goal was to tell stories about urban planning and architecture, spanning city development and dream homes. Research, interviews with leading minds in the industry, and curation of content around innovations and trends in the built space are my ways of learning in public.

More recently, the newsletter has evolved to include travel essays (with a focus on architecture and culture), my experiences venturing into the realm of city development, and personal musings in hopes of connecting with you.

Expect a long-form essay in your inbox about 1x a month.
