The desire to impact people’s everyday lives and experiences is the driving force behind Andrea’s passion in life and is also what inspires her designs. Creating intentionally designed green spaces, growing food in communities, healing the environment, and understanding urban ecology and culture are interests that influence both her work and community involvement. This deep appreciation for and love of the built environment can be traced back to early childhood, when Andrea could often be found building elaborate stick and rock cities next to the creek that ran along her family home.
Andrea received her Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Virginia Tech.
