With experience spanning design studios and development work, Jeff approaches projects from both concept and delivery perspectives. He is interested in ideas that are ambitious but buildable: visions that can survive contact with budgets, regulations, and market realities while still pushing for better urban and ecological outcomes.

​

Across projects, Jeff uses “Nature. Culture. Renewal.” as a working framework. Nature is treated as core urban infrastructure. Culture—everyday life, memory, and working histories—shapes public spaces and program. Renewal uses the tools of development to support long-term social and environmental value.

​

Jeff’s work across Canada and China is less about exporting a single model and more about learning across contexts: using each place to reveal blind spots in the other, and to generate new types of streets, blocks, and districts for cities already in the midst of change.
