hi, i’m forest. i’m the founder of empathy stories. my background is in architecture and systems change. i combine these ways of seeing to provide spatial systems maps in support of social change movements.

my masters thesis in architecture looked at leveraging design to build social equity.

drawing the reality we want is a powerful tool in envisioning and building the change we’re working toward.

visualizing systems in 3d gives social change movements access to clearly seeing and wayfinding within networks, in an embodied way, to support decision-making that brings social change to fruition.

i’d love to connect about your systems change work and the benefits of shared seeing in complex systems. i hope to connect with you soon ☼
