About me
Elizabeth (EB) is fascinated by the ability of cultural and natural history to inform a site’s contemporary use, interpretation, and transformation. EB’s resolution of large conceptual ideas into tangible, elegant details has shaped the design and construction of projects across a range of scales and settings. Her project work includes the Clark Art Institute, Boston’s Pier 4, and Water Street Tampa, a 53-acre urban district in Florida. Most recently she has led the framework plan and site design for Brewster’s Woods, a 143-acre Mass Audubon sanctuary along the Concord River, also home of the Museum of American Bird Art; managed site design for various capital projects at Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and shaped public realm design for portions of Harvard University’s future Enterprise Research Campus. EB’s belief in the community impact of well-designed, ecologically rich landscapes began during her childhood in Rochester, New York, where an Olmsted-designed park system and the legacy of significant nineteenth-century tree nurseries shaped the character of the city’s neighborhoods. She enrolled at Yale University as a physics major and graduated with a degree in art history. After several years working in the New York City art world, EB earned her MLA with distinction from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
