Empowering Communities Through Design
Who We Are
Neighborhood Build, Inc. is a non-profit organization that focuses on community design and transformation. Volunteering our time, talents and resources, we aim to make a positive impact on underserved communities through design and engagement.
What We Do
Neighborhood Build, Inc. offers pro-bono design services to non-profit organizations, community leaders, and individuals pushing to better serve their area. By listening to the unique needs and aspirations of the communities we serve, our designs reflect their culture, history and values. Though design is our focus, it isn’t just about building up a community’s infrastructure, it’s also about building up the people who live there. Neighborhood Build also provides support for community events through volunteer efforts and itemized contributions.
Why We Do It
On average, we spend over 85% of our time indoors, that is our built environment. That environment should be worth experiencing. Design possesses the ability to bring people together and make a difference in their everyday lives. This kind of thoughtful design should be available to everyone, no matter where they live. Neighborhood Build, Inc. strives to develop, revitalize, and empower communities by fostering pride in the built environment and its people.
Mission
Our mission is to help build up communities through thoughtfully designed infrastructure and meaningful civic engagement.
Collaboration
It is a noble goal to change the world for the better, but we can't do it alone. With a team effort, we can expand our reach exponentially.
Inclusive Design
It is important to actively consider the diverse needs and experiences of users. Spaces should be accessible and welcoming to people of all abilities, ages, genders, cultures, and backgrounds.
Vision
A future where everyone can take pride in their community and themselves, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
Transparency
We aim to foster trust, accountability, and integrity in the actions we take. Transparency allows us to demonstrate honesty as we strengthen our relationships with clients, partners and communities.
Professionalism
We strive to set high standards in the way we conduct our work and interactions. As we seek to be a reliable resource, professionalism is the cornerstone of credibility and success.
As a growing professional, I have had opportunities to impact others through design and community service. By founding Neighborhood Build, Inc., I want to continue my efforts in helping those around me, whether it's a family, social group or even a whole community. With obtaining a Master's degree in Architecture, I am passionate in continuing my professional journey of becoming an architect and using the skills I’ve learned to impact others. This passion is the foundation of Neighborhood Build, Inc.​
“Architecture is a way of communicating my ideas to the world and it allows me to express myself creatively. But what really gives architecture meaning is it becoming part of something bigger than ourselves.”​
