Hi, I'm Lance!
Architect, Designer, & Urban Planner
I'm a Registered and Licensed Architect in the Philippines and M.S. Urban Planning graduate from the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) where I pursued concentrations in the built environment and urban analytics.
With my background in Architecture and Urban Planning, I bring a blend of creativity and analytical skills to planning the built environment across various scales. Particularly, my keen interests are in planning cities on the street level and exploring how mobility can be empowered through people first, data-driven, and equitable approaches to planning and design.
I have key experience championing Complete Streets principles in the streetscape projects I undertake, putting walkability and multimodal considerations at the forefront of the graphics, recommendations, and plans I produce.

I'm also experienced in performing safety analysis and geospatial modeling, with a proven ability to transform complex crash and roadway datasets into clear, actionable insights. My strength lies not only in rigorous analysis but in crafting visually compelling maps and graphics that make data legible and intuitive for decision-makers.
I have delivered High Injury Network analysis for Greenwich, CT, Clemson, SC, and the New York State Thruway Authority, helping these agencies prioritize high-impact safety interventions. My work reflects a commitment to planning streets that promote mobility and safety for all users.
Presently, I am working as an Urban Planner and Designer at Stantec's New York office.
