  • Experience with traditional landscape architecture projects such as:
    • Parks, trails, and multi-use pathways
    • Urban and waterfront public spaces
    • Open space and recreation planning
    • Playscapes and community amenities
  • Advanced visualization and rendering skills (e.g., Rhino, Lumion, SketchUp, or comparable 3D software).
