Fascinated by the diversity and range of the cultural landscape, Juliana was drawn to Landscape Architecture to better understand the significance of place in our lives and support a design dialogue that helps us to re-think and shape our environments with empathy, equity and resilience. She is passionate about unveiling the layers of our landscapes and working at the intersections of the built and natural environments. 

Growing up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Juliana developed a sensitivity to spatial value and seeks to be part of projects that bring her closer to her urban communities.  Juliana’s professional experience encompasses a wide variety of public and private projects, including Parks and Recreation, Public Works, Multi-family and Multi-Use Development, Education, Healthcare and Residential.  Her design range allows her to work closely with her clients and design teams to bring forth thoughtful and creative solutions.

Laksshita knew early on that she wanted to design for the public. A student exchange trip to Paris sparked her fascination with how people engage with space and how design can shape memory, identity, and community. Growing up in New Delhi, one of the most densely populated cities in the world, she developed a keen awareness of how urban environments influence everyday life.

Her passion for public space and community-centered design has always guided her path. During her time at Washington State University, she joined the Rural Community Design Initiative (RCDI), where she discovered that landscape architecture offered the most meaningful opportunities to serve communities through design. What began as a leap of faith quickly became a calling. That realization set the tone for the work she does today, work that’s grounded in collaboration, cultural awareness, and long-term care for place. She’s especially excited about projects that serve both people and the land, and believes the best landscapes are the ones that reflect the communities they belong to.

Outside of work, Laksshita enjoys exploring new restaurants, traveling, cooking, and unwinding through painting or sketching.

Growing up in Utah, Mark developed a deep love for the outdoors and wide, open spaces. After working at a retail plant nursery in high school, he quickly became a self-proclaimed "plant nerd"; when he discovered that there was a profession called landscape architecture that combined these passions, there was no looking back. Mark received his BLA at the University of Washington with a focus on horticulture and botany. Mark brings a deep knowledge of ecological restoration, native planting design, residential gardens, and permitting to the practice. 

After almost 30 years in Seattle, Mark recently relocated to Butte, Montana - the historic copper mining city in the rocky mountains. As the first-ever licensed landscape architect in Butte-Silver Bow County, he can’t wait to green up the place!

Mark spends his free time gardening and messing around with old cars or working on his even older house.

Beau is a very active Bichon Frise with an eye for good design.  He especially loves designs that provide areas to run and play and chase his friends.   Beau and his brother (from another mother) - Louis are avid Green Bay Packer fans and love watching the Green and Gold on gameday and their Touchdown Treats!

Friendly and outgoing, Tucker wins the heart of everyone he meets, bringing contagious energy to every meeting. His favorite project types include wide-open spaces with room to run, and forested trails filled with natural elements to explore. 

An expert in the theory of prospect and refuge, Cloud became a leader in her field, mastering site investigation and analysis through her thorough on-the-ground fieldwork. Her desire to attend virtual meetings makes her an important part of the team both on-site and online.

Originally from the streets of Mexico City, Lexi offers a fresh perspective on the urban framework. Her ability to identify plants just by their smell is a unique skill that sets her apart. These qualities outway the fact that she spends most of the work day napping.

Louis is a loving Bichon Frise that was rescued from the great state of Wisconsin.  He loves his humans but likes to be a loaner from time to time.  Louis's talents range from doodling to project management but his passion is keeping his humans on their toes.  Just like his brother Beau - he enjoys when his Green Bay Packers score a touchdown and barks for his Touchdown Treats!!
