Hello! I am Jennifer Shipe. I have an Undergraduate in Urban Planning and am working on my Masters of Urban Design through Ball State. Classes are located in Downtown Indianapolis which serves as our laboratory in our investigation into the realm of Urban Design.
I stumbled into Urban Design from a series of events in my life all of which contained influential people pushing me to pursue my passion. This has caused me to be a firm believer that people have the power to change the world and it starts one influential person. I hope my passion of creating clean, safe, inspiring places help others to pursue theirs.
