OUR FLAGSHIP PROGRAM

CURRENT CLASS

I imagine Knoxville in ten years to be an (even more!) vibrant tapestry woven with interconnected public spaces. Envision a "Knoxville Greenline" - a network of pedestrian and cycling paths, unique to Knoxville, but drawing inspiration from Atlanta's transformative Beltline. This network would strategically link our cherished gems: a revitalized TN riverfront, historic and new cultural anchors, directly to our diverse neighborhoods. Every greenline segment will be an engaging public space in itself, featuring pop-up art and experiences, local restaurants and retail. This increased connectivity will foster a healthier, more resilient Knoxville, where every resident can easily access recreation, commerce, and community, strengthening our unique identity.

The TN River as a connector. So much unrealized potential to highlight and engage with the river.

Focus on preservation of character and community while fostering meaningful growth.

The hippo and polar bear at the zoo!

I keep an ongoing combo of non fiction and fiction, recent favorites are Atomic Habits and All the Colors of the Dark.

Sara Hedstrom Pinnell, don't make all A's in design school, if you do, you aren't challenging yourself enough. This has resonated as always ask questions, always push the envelope. Thank you, Sara.

Have awareness of and navigate the fine balance of competence and confidence.
