Kate is an Associate at CMG Landscape Architecture. She works toward climate-adaptive design – planning through research and practice, driven by compassion for people and our shared ecosystems.
Kate’s background in environmental art and soil science informs a critical and creative engagement with webs of people and our nonhuman cohabitants. As a designer, she collaborates fluidly with communities, stakeholders, and multi-disciplinary project teams. Through these partnerships, she seeks to build resilience within urban ecosystems facing changing climate stressors and vulnerable communities facing increasing flooding. Her work to date has contributed to sea level rise adaptation efforts along much of San Francisco’s shoreline.
Kate is the recipient of the Geraldine Knight Scott Travel Fellowship, as well as the 2017-18 University of California Berkeley Award for Excellence in Landscape Architecture. She holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley, and a Bachelor of Arts in Art and Architectural History from Sarah Lawrence College.
