I'm Arzen, graduate Urban Planner

Hello! I've recently completed my Masters of Urban Planning at McGill University in Montréal, Québec.

I have worked on multiple research positions while at my time at McGill giving my a multidisciplinary understanding of the field of urban studies and planning. From using big data to understand how individuals navigate public space to a creative application of drawing methods to understand perceptions of commuting, I have a keen interest in how people internalize and make make sense of the cities that we live in.

Outside of professional endeavours, I have a keen interest of old-time folk music and play the banjo and guitar in my spare time. I've been building a collection of folk song chords which you can find in the miscellaneous section of this website. I enjoy riding and maintaining bikes as well, and often enjoy long bike trips. If I'm out and about, I'm probably getting there on my bicycle!
