Hello! I'm Gene, a Brooklyn-based designer working at the intersection of graphic design, environmental design, community outreach, art and urban studies.
Most recently, I worked with AECOM's Urbanism & Planning team to create cities that are equitable, sustainable and beautiful. I also make music as Wandering Years and create art about cities with my art collective, esto. Reach out today!
