Malcom is committed to creating research and design practices that nurture possibility, connection, and community transformation. His work is rooted in cultivating spaces where children and families can bring their full selves, their creativity, and their ways of knowing into collective processes that imagine more liberatory futures.

Malcom is passionate about how young BIPOC children make meaning, how they perceive, interpret, and move through the world, and how those interpretations shape their relationships, choices, and desires. He is drawn to the everyday moments where children express agency, care, and curiosity, and he works to join the spaces in both community and schools that honor those expressions. An admirer of complexity, he enjoys thinking alongside others, asking big questions, and making sense of challenges in ways that open rather than close possibilities.
Outside of work, Malcom finds joy in his faith, in swimming, painting, reading, and spending time in community with loved ones.

“Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out” – James Baldwin
