Hello. I am a landscape maker, scholar, and
teacher based in Ithaca, NY.
This website is under transformation: new projects are afoot!
In the meantime, you can always send me a line.
Coming soon...
The Center for Touch-Made Landscapes
Landstudy Workshop: A landscape research consultancy with Ursula Lang
Ongoing...
Unruly Earths: Sometimes, I make miniature landscapes. I layer sediments and fluids into a jar, see what they make of themselves, and document what occurs. I have an ongoing collaboration with Howard Ryan / hauras. Together we are Burrows. You can find our work here.
Scholarship, Teaching, Design: I specialize in landscape history, theory, and design. Since teaching my first design studio in 2005, I have accrued nearly 20 years of experience guiding people to research living sites, and articulate landscape visions. Most recently Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto, I have also taught at Université de Montréal, University of Buffalo, Cornell University, California Polytechnic State University – San Luis Obispo, and University of Detroit Mercy. My writing can be found in the Center for Humans and Nature, Journal of Design History, Studies in the History of Gardens and Designed Landscapes, and The Next American City. As a designer I have worked for Conger, Moss, Guillard, the Detroit Collaborative Design Center, and various San Francisco-based landscape architecture firms. I hold a Ph.D. in the History of Architecture and Urbanism from Cornell University, a Master of Landscape Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Swarthmore College.
