My current career goal in landscape design is to learn more about the field. I hope to pursue licensure while exploring public or private design opportunities. I want to continue to explore different mediums and create as much as possible. My personal goal in landscape design is to help communities witness the beauty and life nature offers. My portfolio hopes to create a reflection of working, living, and fulfilling communities. These communities reflect biodiversity, aid in facilitating connections, sparks dialogue and learning experiences that echo to larger communities. Furthermore, understanding how knowledge can enlighten people on a national and global scale. Finally, creating personal cultural connections to these concepts to help positively transform communities and encouraging exploration of feelings with all physical senses.

Project Summary: The Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve is a nature preserve established in 2017. This 37.5 cubic feet piece of land purpose is to help provide education on the cultural significance of the Preserve. In this project, our group focused on preserve the Chumash who inhabited the land before missionary settlement. Our site was the Diamond Corral, which was previously a corral that contains history of harsh chemicals. We created an education center, elevated path, meadow, a stormwater capture system,spaces for foraging, and more. This studio helped me personally delve deeper into what ecology needed to be revitalized, while honoring the Chumash that took care of the land. Design solutions included permant versus temporary solutions that aided in removing toxins from soil.

Connecting

culture and Ecology • 2021

This Chumash believed in the preservation of cosmology, ecology, and people. As settlers discovered this land their population declined significantly. They tended to the water, made sure to not overinduldge, and often had ceremonies to celebrate their generations of land and people. Some of the oak trees on this site are thousands of years old. They had a phrase stating that the 'rainbow bridge' extended to the sky people that gave them advice to continue to maintain the land.
