Henry has also studied in Denmark and has a continued interest in Scandinavian culture and design. His professional experience spans multiple design foci, including landscape, architecture and visualization.

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.

Mandi has a background in art, landscape, and architecture. She is passionate about shaping public space at the intersection of the three and exploring narrative through design.

Her professional project experience includes cultural landscapes; state, regional, and urban parks; conservation agriculture projects; and botanic gardens.
