COVER LETTER

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to express my interest in the position of Planner Coordinator in Area 1 with the Montgomery County Planning Department. As a trained landscape architect and urban designer my professional practice experience runs the gamut of public, private, and nonprofit/grassroots work. This wide array of professional expertise will serve me well as a Planner Coordinator.

The opportunity to work with in the Maryland National Capitol Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) network would offer a chance to pursue high level planning work with an organization committed to providing high quality of life for its region’s residents.

In my current role as Senior Planner within the Design Excellence initiative for the Montgomery County Planning Department I have had the opportunity to work on numerous projects of varying scales. My primary responsibilities are supporting the Design Excellence initiative through the coordination of the bi-annual Design Excellence Award Competition and Celebrate Design Awards event. Work within the Design Excellence initiative also includes working on urban design guidelines, placemaking and public art initiatives, and coordinating the monthly urban design discussions to foster a collaborative approach to design throughout the county. I also worked on the Burtonsville Placemaking initiative which included drafting concept plan for the pop-up event, community engagement/ workshop facilitation, and student environmental education efforts. I am also currently working on the Montgomery County Planning Departments upcoming THRIVE 2050 General Plan update. My

primary role in this work has been collaborating with the organization’s communications team to generate inclusive, authentic, and in-depth community engagement strategies to connect with the many diverse communities of Montgomery County. Since, the last general plan update, the county has transitioned from a predominantly White and suburban region, to a racially diverse transect of urban, suburban and rural communities. Although, Montgomery County boost a diversity of residents, and is ranked among the most educated and wealthiest counties in the country, the disparities between the haves and have-nots continues to grow more pronounced. Making diversity, equity and inclusion work, now more-than-ever, a high priority. These engagement opportunities with the community have offered great insight into how the region could be more equitable in addressing the many needs of the county’s residents.

Along with my work as a Senior Planner, I am also the Co-Founder of the Urban Studio; a non-profit organization focused on advancing design-thinking for equitable and sustainable urbanism. The Urban Studio currently facilitates 3 programs: Studio DC, Studio South Central, and Studio Digital. All of which, are focused on investigating how design, representation, and access, through authentic engagement strategies, can provide a way for communities of color to have greater influence over how their communities developed. As one of the facilitators of the Studio DC program, funded in part by the DC Department of Energy and the Environment, I worked with 12

high-school teenagers and two Howard University directive study architecture students, over the course of 10-weeks, to address stormwater and water quality issues in some of DC’s most polluted watersheds.

Helping these teens discover the power of design and the design-thinking process provided evidence that our work as urban designers, planners, and landscape architects can support disenfranchised communities evolve in a way that is sustainable, culturally authentic, and economically viable.

This work is a direct result of my time as a board member for the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF). Service on the LAF Board – as Chair of the Olmsted Scholars Committee and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Task Force – gave me a chance to collaborate with leaders in landscape architecture around strategies to 1) elevate the impact of the profession and 2) increase interest among students from a diversity of backgrounds in landscape architecture.

As a member of the LAF board, I helped to create a K-12 outreach toolkit for Olmsted Scholars and landscape architecture professionals to conduct engagement with students about landscape architecture. I also worked with the DEI Task Force to produce a survey for landscape architects, to gain a greater understanding of the diversity work that needs to be done throughout the profession.

In my previous position as Project Coordinator for the Neighborhood Design Center (NDC), I was able to apply my skills as an urban designer to complete numerous community lead projects. As a project coordinator I manage teams of volunteer design professionals, facilitate community meetings, prepare design development drawings and assemble multiple stakeholders to achieve project goals.

I have also gained valuable experience working in the private sector as landscape designer for LandDesign Inc. During my tenure with the firm, I worked primarily on a new development project with JBG Smith located in Tysons Corner, reviewing and revising construction documents (CD) sets. This master plan project focused on transit-oriented development; incorporating a series of residential buildings, open space plazas, recreation facilities and streetscape designs into the final master

plan. My responsibilities included developing section renderings and elevations, redlining 60-80% CD sets and creating detail sheets for the multiple public spaces and streetscapes.

Extensive training in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suites and Microsoft Office, have also provided me with a range of applicable skills and a broad knowledge base with respect to design practice. My ability to bring teams and diverse constituencies together to work towards a common goal is one of my strongest attributes. I have applied the skills from my numerous experiences and have become highly skilled in written, visual and verbal communication.

I have enclosed a portfolio of my work for your review.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information or writing samples to aid you in your evaluation. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm Regards,

THE URBAN STUDIO Advancing design-thinking for equitable + sustainable urbanism.

Kendra Hyson, Co-Founder | Program Director Studio DC Maisie Hughes, Co-Founder | Program Director Studio DC Davi De La Cruz, Program Director Studio South Central Andrew Sargeant, Program Director Studio Digital Client: DC Department of Energy and the Environment (DOEE) Project Objective: The Studio DC program received a $20,000 dollar Community Stormwater Solutions Grant from DOEE, to conduct a 10 week youth program that would teach teens how to develop design solutions to some of the DC areas pressing stormwater issues.

Project Brief: The Urban Studio, run by a collective of 4 trained landscape architects of color, is a non-profit organization whose focus is advancing design-thinking for equitable and sustainable urbanism. The Urban Studio currently runs 3 programs: Studio DC, Studio South Central, and Studio Digital.

All of which, are focused on investigating how design, representation, and access, through authentic engagement strategies, can provide a way for communities of color to have greater influence over how their communities developed. Simultaneously, we hope to stimulate interest among young people in designing the futures they wish to see, and providing them with the tools necessary to do so.

Through this work, the Urban Studio helps to facilitate a pipeline for students of color and underserved background into the design professions. These young people are future citizens and represent the diversity of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences that we wish to see represented more in the design and built environment professions that shape our world.

The Studio DC programs 10-week challenge focused on addressing stormwater and water quality issues in the in the student’s neighborhoods. Neighborhoods, that are located in some of the most polluted watersheds in the city according to DOEE. For 10-weeks we exposed this bright group of young people to the principles of green infrastructure, sustainable design, community engagement, and landscape architecture. In such a short time - these brilliant students developed a comprehensive landscape plan that included some much-needed community amenities and green infrastructure strategies to capture and clean the stormwater on their perspective sites. The grant - not only allowed us to facilitate the program but it also allowed us to pay our students for their time and dedication.

BURTONSVILLE PLACEMAKING Community Engagment | Design | Planning + Policy Project Contribution: Community Engagment Strategist, Place-making Event Design, and Tree Planting Demonstration

Project Brief: The Montgomery County Planning Department and the Better Block Foundation worked with the community of Burtonsville, MD to begin to reimagine part of Burtonsville’s commercial center as a lively, dynamic public space and park.

As part of the Burtonsville placemaking initiative, a community festival was held to bring together residents, visitors, local business owners and representatives of civic associations.

Placemaking inspires people to collectively reimagine and reinvent public spaces as the heart of the community. It strengthens the connections between community members and the places they share. As a member of the Burtonsville Placemaking team - I worked with the community to facilitate a site selection for the placemaking event, collaborated with Better Block, Build A Better Burtonsville business association, and fellow urban designers to create a master plan for the event, as well as conduct a planting demonstration to help envolve the local elementary school in the placemaking festivities.

Placemaking refers to a collaborative process that shapes our public realm in order to maximize value. Placemaking inspires people to collectively reimagine and reinvent public spaces as the heart of the community.

WINDOM ROAD HISTORIC BARRIER PARK Community Engagment + Design Kendra Hyson, lead designer Allie O’Neill Marita Roos Maria Garcia Diaz Client: The Towns of Brentwood + North Brentwood, Maryland Project Objective: Convert a historic barrier, erected during a time of high racial tension and segregation, into a place of confluence for the community.

Graphic Production Tools: AutoCAD, GIS, InDesign Illustrator, Photoshop

Project Brief: To artfully commemorate the formerly divided history of the towns of Brentwood and North Brentwood, the current communities from both towns came together to develope a shared vision for a new public space that will serve a welcoming place of confluenc for both communities and highlight the unique history of this place.

Many considerations were taken to thoughtfully capture the town’s unified efforts to move forward from a previously alienated past.

The newly proposed promenade extends 13 feet from the location of the original of the barrier on either side, creating a since of equality between the two towns.

The 26 foot existing asphalt road has been narrowed into a 12 foot promenade.

The former highway median that served as a point of contention and segregation for the two towns will be removed and put on display in the PGAAMCC as a relic of the previous division between the two towns.

COMMUNITY FORKLIFT

Project Brief: NDC was approached to provide conceptual landscape design for a proposed community park across from Community Forklift.

The land is currently owned and managed by MNCPPC, so close collaboration with Prince George’s County Parks as necessary. Volunteer designers proposed an extensive for the Re-Use Art Park intended to create a dynamic public space created with and the local community, to serve the local community.

The design proposed improved streetscaping to Tanglewood Drive that included decorative crosswalks and light post banners, along with a community nature walk to highligh local wildlife, rain gardens and permeable paving for stormwater managment and new public spaces with works of art or sculptures created from repurposed materials.

As Project Coordinator I supervised volunteer designers, organized community events and meetings, as well as assisted with the development of a native plant palette for the proposed rain garden and critical forest areas that included conservation landscaping techniques to preserver local ecologies.

In the short-term these will be help as clean and green spaces while the city works with the community to develop concepts and designs for the sites 500

Project Brief: The Baltimore Office of Sustainability and NDC worked together to create a series of public facing maps to highlight existing conditions throughout Baltimore city and the proposed Green Network Plan that will connect the city through natural systems.

A series of 5 maps were created. One map (seen on the right) highlights the over al city plan and areas of potential development.

The remaining maps highlight 4 specific areas of development. In each of these maps green spaces, existing communities, public transit, anchor institutions and swaths of vacant housing were highlighted. The maps also highlight existing tree canopy coverage, highlighting areas where urban heat island is prominent. The maps will serve as a way to gather community input and inform Baltimore citizens about the changes taking place throughout their communities.

SECOND CITY Graduate Research | MLA Program | University of Arizona Project Brief: Located sixty-four kilometers (40 miles) north of Panamá City, Panamá, lies Colón - Panamá’s “Second City” and the Atlantic port entrance to the infamous Panamá Canal.

Formerly a marshy coral island, that has since been infilled, Colón plays host to an eclectic blend of architectural styles reminiscent of the city’s development and history as a conduit for international trade. Currently, amid this unique model of urban form, exist dilapidated infrastructure, perennial flooding, sewage filled streets, extreme disparities of wealth, crime and an array of neglected landscapes.

The western waterfront and existing cruise ship terminal provide anchoring amenities on either end of the corridor, promoting movement through the city east and west. The promenade dissects a large “conjunto� or housing project currently plagued with crime and degraded infrastructure. Improved housing and outdoor space for existing residents has been provided along with an arts district, outdoor gallery, splash pad, gardens and other flexible spaces.
