Personal Statement
My Design Trust fellowship was a wonderful opportunity to work as part of a team
working to empower a community to shape their physical environment. I particularly
enjoyed the opportunity to work collectively toward a vision of a ‘sustainable
community’ that fully and deeply embraced the social, environmental, and
economic elements of what sustainability is all about and recognized the intrinsic
connections between each of these subjects. The Design Trust, by offering a journalism
fellowship, recognizes the importance of documentation. A terrific community
design process can be too quickly forgotten unless the story is captured effectively… and
then it can be a catalyst.
