Amanda believes that a truly successful project is all about creating win-win solutions for both the human user and the natural environment. This begins by listening with curiosity to understand the client’s desired experience and function of their property in the design phase, and carries through to the construction and implementation phases. She has more than 20 years of experience working in the landscape industry with clients ranging from home owners, business owners, contractors, and organizations such as The Durham History Hub, Forest Hills Neighborhood Association, University City District, and Fairmount Park Conservancy to bring their projects to life with ease and grace.
Amanda’s passions lie in creating playful and peaceful landscapes designed for active and passive learning, connection and play. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from Temple University, which included a semester abroad in Rome, Italy, studying art and architecture. While at Temple, Amanda was a three time group presenter at Temple University Research forum and Creative Works Symposium and received a leadership award for her role and participation in Temple’s 2008 Philadelphia Flower Show Exhibit, “The Big Four Mississippi Meander”.
