Hanna strives to be ecologically sensitive and socially conscious in her designs. Her passion for landscape architecture stems from an interest in the global water crisis, specifically how the lack of fresh water disproportionately affects women. Wanting to attack the problem from multiple angles, Hanna was drawn to landscape architects' ability to create holistic solutions that are as beautiful as they are functional. In her spare time, Hanna enjoys volunteering at urban farms, taking dance classes, and travelling to new places.

Mac holds a master of landscape architecture degree from Kansas State University. He studied abroad in Copenhagen, where he took courses in urban design, philosophy, and neuroscience. Through his academic and professional career, he realized a passion for creative storytelling, public space, and social equity. Mac believes that altruism is essential in fostering just, resilient, and sustainable design solutions. Outside of design, he enjoys studying history, politics, and art.

Since earning his degree in 1996, David has worked on a wide array of projects, all centered on creating community through great design. His role at Land Collective pushes the aesthetic and social possibilities of the studio, drawing on his past experience as lead designer at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, where he created notable urban parks and pop-ups. David holds an MA Hons degree in landscape architecture from Heriot-Watt University, Scotland.
