Laura focuses on human interactions with space and place and believes successful site design should be functionally elegant and beautiful. Laura draws inspiration from her background of theatrical design, where every physical element on the stage is imbued with meaning, and from her Bachelor of Arts in German, where every story is filled with symbolism (and complex sentence structures).

Laura has served on the education committee for ASLA-MN and is always on the hunt for new products, materials, and research to learn about.

In her free time, Laura enjoys sewing elaborate costumes for her son, spending quintessential Minnesota weekends with her family at the lake, and is constantly on the search for her next novel to read.
