Since reuniting with former colleagues at DTLS in 2016, Michelle has led the practice’s business development and marketing efforts - she relishes making new connections and sharing what we do with potential clients and collaborators.  Upon entering university to pursue a degree in  architecture, she quickly discovered that landscape architecture's diversity of project types and scales was a great fit for her skill set and interests. She loves the challenge of a blank page and excels at generating great ideas quickly. Her portfolio reflects the breadth and variety that drew her to the profession, with particular emphasis on corporate, healthcare, and higher education campus work. At the office, Michelle is known for dropping bad puns and throwing great parties. At home, there’s usually an active construction project to keep her busy, along with kids, a seeded prairie, crafts, and pet antics.
