Passionate About
Sharing the field of design and architecture with the younger generation through volunteer opportunities with Territory Urban Design Studio, an After School Matters program at CPS schools; Liezel also finds joy in bringing nature and good food to others through WJW’s Volunteer Committee’s initiative at the Hope Manor I veterans residence, where WJW volunteers built a garden and continue to host an annual harvest meal with residents.
I’m thankful for the opportunity to share my design perspective and to try to make the built environment a little bit better for everyone. Everyone deserves good design.
