About Asha B.

I am an urban planner committed to advancing equity and sustainability in urban and community development. I believe that the way to rectify the historical legacies of bad urban planning practices is intentional outreach and engagement. I am a Just Communities Accredited Practitioner. My primary focus areas as a planner are economic development, environmental justice & sustainability, and community engagement & outreach. I have worked on award-winning projects like the Austin Coming Together Central Avenue plan and the Logan Square Elevated Blue line plan. My skills include, quantitative & qualitative data collection and analysis, project management, public engagement, and stakeholder facilitation. I have experience with Adobe, Microsoft office, Canva, and ArcGIS.
