A visually compelling vision for Fort Wayne’s urban evolution 


Working with the City of Fort Wayne's Neighborhood Activation Studio, my illustration-driven approach to the Fort Wayne Historic Northeast Plan 2030, reimagined the Northside, Forest Park, and North Anthony neighborhoods as a cohesive, resilient urban fabric. These sketches transform community aspirations—gathered from over 1,100 residents—into a dynamic blueprint, balancing historic preservation with modern needs. By envisioning vacant lots and underused spaces as opportunities for trails, mixed-use hubs, and green corridors, this work hope to bridge past and future. Why not offer a flexible, less prescriptive guide for the city, ensuring an equitable, well-connected, and timeless Fort Wayne?
