Kevin Chung

Kevin is a graduate of the Cornell University School of Architecture who specializes in identifying, branding, and marketing place identity, helping consumers identify the perfect neighborhood in large-scale metropolitan areas, or helping businesses and governments strengthen, redefine, or more effectively market their urban image.

He has a multi-disciplinary international background in the field, incorporating urban identity in fields such as urban planning (helped San Francisco International Airport improve its relations with communities that overlap its airspace), political strategy (wrote a thesis on the impacts of culture on the political planning process of a Dutch regional light rail system), entrepreneurship (consulted to Fortune 500 companies and governments about how to redefine and strengthen their Silicon Valley presence), and to architecture and design (started up a mapping site that visually displays people's thoughts and perceptions about neighborhood vibe).

He loves exploring mind-blowingly large cities that overwhelm his five senses and are unique to the world - some of his favorites include Mexico City, Tokyo, Moscow, and New York City.
