Liz grew up in Southern California before moving to Atlanta, Georgia and earned her BA in Political Science from Clark Atlanta University. She then completed her Master’s in Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Colorado Denver. Her passion for planning was sparked by grassroots work during undergrad, where she founded a neighborhood association to advocate for overlooked communities. Since then, she’s been committed to using art, storytelling, and inclusive design to support places that reflect the people who live there. When she’s not working, you can find Liz creating digital art, exploring Colorado, or doing fun nail art.
