2005 graduate of the BLA program

“The BLA program at UGA was crucial to my development as a landscape architect because it was able to bring a wide range of classes, students and professors into one program that none other in the US can boast.  This depth of education allowed me to see many facets of the industry and has given me contacts throughout the US and abroad as resources to growth and development."

Bio

I moved to Chicago right after finishing my degree at UGA and began working in traditional landscape architecture shops working on projects in both private and public sectors.  In 2009 I was lead design on the Northerly Island redevelopment project as well as a beach front master planning project with Park District of Highland Park while working for SmithgroupJJR – Chicago.  In 2010 I was hired to lead the design practice at Chicago Roof Deck and Garden, a Chicago based design build firm specializing in exterior construction and finishing for outdoor spaces in Chicago.  Now a principal at CRD I over see a team that designs and builds over 100 spaces a year in both the residential and commercial sector.  Our organization is expanding into more traditional landscape architecture design in planning services along with extended procurement services outside Chicago and the U.S..  As part of that development, we will be launching our designed and manufactured lines of outdoor product ranging from furniture to fire elements.
