“Why did you choose to be a landscape architect?”

I started in Ocean Engineering with an interest in special planning. Organizing user’s needs and complex environmental systems was captivating and challenging. Over time, my interest in ocean-only design faded as I gained an appreciation for the design and engineering of the built environment. The flexibility of Landscape Architecture and our ability to work within any realm of planning and development is what drives my practice.

“What drew you to the profession?”

I enjoy the flexibility and position Landscape Architects have within the planning, engineering, and permitting of development projects. The value of a creative, experience driven site design has been proven time-and-time again.

“Tell us your favorite type of project to work on.”

Each project comes with unique challenges and hidden gems, so it is difficult to choose a favorite; however, I particularly enjoy working with the Healthcare, Municipal, and Recreational industries because of how vast their user-groups are. Paying careful attention to equal access is critical to our communities’ wellbeing. I enjoy designing meaningful spaces for all to experience.
