Woody transforms urban complexity into shared vision. He leads projects that range in scale — from portfolio-wide TOD strategies for SFMTA, VTA, and California High-Speed Rail, to landmark district framework plans for Google in San José and Mountain View. With every project, Woody engages deeply to deliver actionable plans and pioneer new models that benefit communities.

An advocate for grassroots initiatives and the local arts community, Woody serves on the board of SOMArts cultural center and champions greening initiatives in San Francisco’s Portola neighborhood, including the award-winning “Green Between”. His previous work at AECOM included numerous large-scale, mixed-use plans around the globe. Before moving to San Francisco, Woody explored the designer’s role in contested space as a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar in Belfast, Northern Ireland and as a Fulbright in Nicosia, Cyprus.
