Kreisman Housing Initiative

The Kreisman Housing Initiative for Housing Law & Policy at the University of Chicago brings together policy, social services, business, law, social and data sciences to advance housing scholarship and generate new ideas about cities and housing. I’ve led marketing and content creation for the Initiative’s events and fellowship program.

Housing & Climate Change

Working with a faculty director, staff, and designer, we developed copy and a signature image for the 2024 symposium “Housing & Climate Change” collateral and marketing material, which convened thought leaders around how societies can effectively respond climate change and housing affordability.

Missing Middle Housing

We developed content and design for the 2023 Kreisman Symposium, “Missing Middle Housing: The Key to Scaling Affordability?” which focused on making housing more affordable through building and preserving “missing middle” housing, a tier of housing that falls between single family homes and high-rises embodied by buildings like duplexes and triplexes.

Zoning, Equity, & Access

For the first Kreisman Symposium, we developed content, design and a report of the event, “Beyond the Single-Family Home: Zoning, Equity, and Access,” which convened experts in city government, housing organizations, design firms, and academia. The event focused on exclusionary zoning practices in U.S. cities of zoning for single-family homes over denser housing, exploring how a form of development identified with the “American Dream” contributes to challenges like affordable housing, lack of access to quality transit, and segregation.
