Mark is a landscape designer who contributes to all phases of the design process with a strong commitment to thoughtful and inclusive placemaking. He enjoys working on public projects, where he can explore the dynamic relationship between people, nature, and the landscape. Passionate about creating spaces that are both meaningful and resilient, Mark is especially interested in low impact development strategies that shape environmentally responsible and user-friendly landscapes. He often reflects on how future generations or different communities might reimagine a site, and he brings this long view thinking into each project. Mark is also eager to expand his knowledge of technical design processes and deepen his understanding of exploring new ways that design can help shape stronger, more connected communities.
