Red Dirt DiscoveriesFounded in 2010, Red Dirt Discoveries is a family nature club my husband and I started to help families connect and explore with local natural areas. We organized local outings and I later expanded the effort into a summer camp program that ran for ten years.Click the logo above to learn more.
From the Ground UpFrom the Ground Up was my design practice from 2009 to 2015, focused on nature-based play environments and restorative outdoor spaces. Projects ranged from residential gardens to large-scale public installations, including Discovery at Cascades Park.Click the logo above to view selected FTGU projects
