Welcome, I'm Ashrita, a strategist and designer

shaping participatory, joyful, and
regenerative cities.

I bring nearly a decade of experience collaborating with public, private, and nonprofit sectors from environmental non-profits to technology companies. I think in systems, creating solutions that integrate people, place, and policy. People-first mobility, blue-green infrastructure, and inclusive public space make me tick.

I'm currently available for full-time roles and consulting work.

Research + Advisory

Every project begins with collective sense-making from high level to eye level. This ranges from how people actually navigate and use their environments to how design, policy, power, and governance shape quality of life.

Discover. Every project begins with hands-on research and collective sense-making of human experience and behavior.

Strategic Design + Planning

Research finds its form in strategy. I design programs, policies, services, and experiences that meet people where they are while building toward more sustainable futures.

Enact. Insight become solutions through through stakeholder visioning, participatory design, dialogue, and storytelling.

Implementation + Activation

Lasting change requires stewardship. I turn plans into action by collaborating closely with implementation teams, whether that involves internal capacity building or public-facing pilots that test and improve on ideas before scaling.
