About me
Ms. Galvin was the lead designer on several Virginia-based projects such as Albemarle County’s Crozet and Places 29 Master Plans, Crozet’s Old Trail Village, the Town of Orange’s form-based code, and the Thomas Jefferson Planning District’s Eastern Planning Initiative. For over fifteen years, she taught courses in walkable, transit-ready neighborhood design at the University of Virginia (UVA.) Ms. Galvin served two terms as a Charlottesville City Councilor and one term as a City School Board member (2008-2020) where she focused on: creating pathways out of poverty; working with communities to reimagine their own neighborhoods to be more walkable and accessible to jobs, healthy food, and affordable housing; transforming city streets and bridges to be safe for walkers, cyclists and motorists alike; reforming the city's zoning laws to better reflect the community’s values; making government more effective; and designing schools to be more healthy and sustainable.
