Coming Soon — Great Lakes Watershed Notes

Watershed Notes is a journal of land, water, and change in the Great Lakes region, exploring how geology, culture, and human decisions shape the places we live — in our built, wild, cultivated and community environments.

Exploring our created environments — from the viewpoint of best practices — planners, designers, architects, and developers — and a bit of irony — just for fun.

All projects are unique. Drop me a line if you want to chat about design!
