She guides organizations through complex, multi-stakeholder decisions\u2014aligning community priorities, policy frameworks, and operational realities to deliver clear, actionable strategy.<\/p>\n<p>With over eight years of experience across consulting, private development, municipal environments and community health, she has led end-to-end planning and development initiatives, from feasibility and due diligence to public engagement, policy analysis, and approvals. Her expertise includes large-scale surveys, community consultations, geospatial and policy analytics, and translating technical insight into strategic direction. Her executive roles in tech further strengthened her ability to build scalable systems, drive cross-functional alignment, and lead through complexity.<\/p>\n<p>The impetus for the Studio was grounded in her graduate research, which challenged conventional \u201cequitable\u201d and \u201chealthy city\u201d paradigms. Her major research paper\u2014Decolonizing \u201cGreenspace\u201d and the \u201cEquitable City\u201d Paradigm\u2014foregrounded lived experience, trauma, and the impacts of discriminatory housing policy on how Black and Brown communities access, use, and feel in public space. Influenced by Black planning thought, including work such as Black Planning in Action, her practice centers human rights, community-led knowledge, and spatial justice.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond strong technical foundations in planning and policy, she has been engaged in professional and community networks, including MIIPOC York and Toronto Public Green Space, where she worked to support equity-driven practice and inclusive city-building.<\/p>\n<p>For more information around how Holding Ground Studio came together, check out her blog post here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Popup &#8211; #photodetailstwo&#8221; module_id=&#8221;photodetailstwo&#8221; module_class=&#8221;popup&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;on&#8221; da_popup_slug=&#8221;photodetailstwo&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;2560px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-2px|-4px||-6px|false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;3px|||0px|false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/holdinggroundstudio.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/kyle-kioko-iAKMDN6MFrY-unsplash-scaled.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;kyle-kioko-iAKMDN6MFrY-unsplash&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-56px||-2px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Jane Doe (she\/her)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#9D6B52&#8243; title_font_size=&#8221;48px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||5px|46px|false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||28px|45px|false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>Engagement &amp; Practice Lead<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;88%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;|0px||45px|false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>TBA<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Section&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>our teamWe are a collective of predominantly Black, Indigenous, and racialized strategists who blend systems expertise with lived experience to help institutions make more equitable decisions.
