WP Alum | Summer Fellow, Harper's Playground Research

Heidi Hinshaw (she/her), is an aspiring community builder. She is working to design a research methodology to understand the social return on investment for Harper’s Playground—the local radically inclusive playground changing the paradigm of play.

Finishing her first year of the Master’s in Urban and Regional Planning program at PSU, Heidi is a generalist with interests in environmental justice, collaborative governance, climate resilience and creative affordable housing. She hopes to work with others to apply systems level thinking to work out solutions to society’s wickedest problems.
