Hi! My name is Rayn.

I am a big believer in big cities and am fascinated by the urban transportation infrastructure that supports such levels of density and dynamism.

I’m a New York City native with 10 years of professional experience in infrastructure operations and urban planning. I’m an AICP-certified planner and a licensed NYC tour guide, as well as a member of the Guides Association of NYC.
