⭐ Top Rated Plus Urban Designer & Urban Planner with architecture background specializing in masterplanning, site planning, and feasibility studies for high-stakes real estate developers and bold city-makers who need to move projects past governance and policy gridlock, and de-risk capital before it's committed. Over 9+ years across the USA, UK, UAE, wider Middle East, Europe, South America, South Africa and India, including time at larger masterplanning studios like CBRE and Gensler, I've helped investors and developers test whether an ambitious idea actually works against physical and regulatory constraints, before they commit budget to it. If you've got a vision but don't know whether it's by-right, hybrid, or how it'll land with a city council, that's exactly the stage I work in.
