I’m Derek Martin, an Urban Planner based in Richmond, Virginia
fascinated by how places came to be this way and where they
go from here. My work synthesizes GIS analysis, demographic research,
and spatial design thinking to turn insights into thoughtful planning.

This portfolio reflects that approach, grounded in clarity,
practicality, and a respect for both people and place.

Let’s connect if you share an interest in empowering
communities through collaborative, data‑driven planning.
