Her current passion project is producing the Science + Design podcast.

In light of current world events, shaping health has never been more important for our cities. Now more than ever, we experience firsthand how our environments play a role in putting people at risk of death, and in saving lives. The environment will play an important role in the next urban revitalization to create health-promoting, disease combating infrastructures.

As part of the Centre for Conscious Design’s global Conscious Cities Festival, Denver’s festival event will bring together local cross-disciplinary experts to describe how they are Shaping Health. Each expert will share a short presentation of how they are impacting change in the Denver metropolis and beyond as we work towards a healthier, more responsive and adaptive city. This event aims to share our city’s strategies globally, as well as identify opportunities in which we can learn from other cities.
