EDUCATION
Bachelor of Landscape Architecture 2016
Minor in Environmental Studies
University of Oregon- Eugene, Oregon
Associate Degree in Art 2006
Study of Graphic Design
Clark Community College- Vancouver, Washington
Fueled by a creative drive and a passion for environmental
values, I set out to join the UO landscape architecture
program to explore every aspect of the field. I wanted to do
it all, and now that I have my degree that desire remains.
During my schooling, my appetite for adventure and
exploration led me to design for environmental education,
nature play and accessible landscapes while balancing
recreation with restoration efforts. I strive to create
opportunities for transformative experiences which connect
people of all ages to the natural environment and instill a
sense of environmental stewardship.
Ultimately, my studies have taken me in unexpected
directions through biomimetic design, developing innovative
solutions to environmental issues and the realities of
professional work and business operations. As the future
unfolds, I see myself working across disciplines to have a
positive impact on the environment and people through
bioremediation, the preservation of biodiversity and
advocacy for environmental justice.

THE LIVING FILTRATION SYSTEM
2015 Competition Studio/Winning Team
Instructors Anne Godfrey, Emma Froh
Team Members: Casey Howard, Wade Hanson,
Matt Jorgenson, Alison Lewis, Krisztian Megyeri
Role: Design concept, research, graphics, video
editor, final pitch & presentation, team leader
Challenges: Original concept, feasibility, business
components, adhering to nature’s unifying
patterns, system based solution
Highlights: Biomimetic design concept for a living
filtration system which utilizes microorganisms
to capture excess nutrients in fertilizer runoff.
Competed against 7 professional and student
finalist teams from around the world to win
design concept round at SXSW Eco Conference.
Currently developing business model and
prototype for Accelerator round to compete for
Ray of Hope Grand Prize and further develop
concept for alternative applications in storm
water management and horticulture.
