I've always had a soft spot for places that feel like home—not just because of the buildings or the views, but because of the people. The way neighbours wave, the stories that get passed around, the quiet understanding that we're all in this together. That's what community means to me. And it's why I started Connecting Corridors.

It wasn't a grand plan. It was more of a gut feeling, something I couldn't ignore. I kept seeing new developments pop up, shiny and fast, but missing something vital. They had roads, houses, signage... but no soul. No real effort to help people connect, belong, or build something together. And I thought, we can do better than this.

Connecting Corridors is my way of nudging things in a better direction. It's about creating spaces, online and offline—where people can find each other, share stories, ask questions, and feel seen. It's about making sure that as we grow, we don't forget what it means to care for the place we live in, and the people we live alongside.

I've lived in communities that felt like family. I've also seen places where people barely spoke to each other. And I know which one I'd rather be part of. But community doesn't just happen. It takes intention. It takes listening. It takes showing up.

So yes, this matters to me. Deeply. Because I believe that every new development has the potential to become a thriving, connected community, but only if we put in the work. Only if we build with people in mind, not just plans and profit.

Connecting Corridors isn't about ticking boxes. It's about building bridges. And I'm here for it.
