CHRISTINA PAUL, AICP
principal
Christina has accomplished a lot in nearly 15 years as an urban planning consultant. After starting her career as an Art Director at Ogilvy & Mather, she transitioned into urban planning and design in order to create delightful, sustainable urban places. She has managed and been involved in many high-profile, complex projects including The Milpitas Metro Specific Plan, Petaluma’s General Plan and Climate Action and Adaptation Plan, Pacifica’s General Plan, YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, Chabot Las Positas Community College District Facilities Master Plan (Hayward/Dublin/Livermore), Contra Costa College’s Strategic Plan, Downtown Long Beach Associates Strategic Plan, and a Strategic Master Plan for the Trinity River in Fort Worth, TX.
Christina takes an analytical but humane approach to planning; driving projects forward with exacting standards, thoroughness, and open, creative collaboration. She values clear communication, is highly adaptable and motivated by integrating progressive sustainability concepts into her work. Her efforts earned her recognition from APA California and was honored with the 2016 Award for Comprehensive Plan for her work on the Baldwin Park Health and Sustainability General Plan Element.
Christina is proud to utilize her Master of Planning and Urban Design degree from Massachusetts Institute of Technology as well as her degrees from Reed College and the California College of the Arts. She is generous with her knowledge by serving on the School Maker Organization Board and volunteering through ULI’s UrbanPlan program. When not working, Christina runs long distances and makes art in many shapes and sizes.
