JEREMY FERGUSON
As a passionate placemaking professional, I have dedicated my career to transforming public spaces into vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable environments. While I always employ the principles of standard placemaking in my projects, I have a particular affinity for Creative and tactical placemaking, where I can leverage my creative talents to foster community engagement and innovation. I have significant experience in strategic placemaking and aligning all placemaking efforts with broader economic and community goals. – Jeremy Ferguson
