Question and Answers

After graduation, what was the first position you had? How did that shape where you are now as a Landscape Architect?

I started work at an Architectural Firm in South Carolina and was exposed to Land Planning, Architecture and Landscape Architecture Projects. The firm also had a design build component and I was able to interact with trades as well and visit construction sites in the role of consultant and design/builder. I had the opportunity to engage with sub-consultants and was able to work closely with Civil and Structural Engineers as well. The office allowed 'moonlighting' and I took that opportunity to take on work of my own.

What does a typical day look like for you?

A typical day has me hoping on many projects, and different points. My job is also centered around operations (business development and administration) so there is never a dull moment. I have the opportunity as well to work alongside a large group with varied talents in a project support and mentoring role. Everyday brings new challenges and excitement and I am very fortunate to get to do what I do, and work with the people I get to work with.

What skills do you feel are important to have as a Landscape Architect?

Open mind, critical thought, no-bias, objective.

What are you passionate about as a Landscape Architect?

That Landscape Architecture is a dynamic discipline, non-static and is the profession that solves the 'unobvious' challenges.
