As a Senior Associate at Sasaki Associates, Stephen has collaborated with and led cross-disciplinary teams on projects that take on site, district, and city scales. Recent work ranges broadly from strategic reinvestment in downtown Wichita, to urban design visions for downtown Raleigh and uptown Cincinnati, and resilience planning for South Shore Long Island in post-Sandy New York.
