In DC?! Come see , Carl Brass, and I talk about neurodiversity, design, and community!

It's my second year speaking at the ASLA conference and it is such an honor. It's an incredible opportunity that I still have to wrap my head around. People want to hear about making our profession and work more inclusive.

I am finding my voice with the help of all of you. Your feedback and encouragement helped shaped what The Landscape Nerd is and will be become. Hope to see you all there 😊

I'm known for being nerdy and bringing awareness to neurodiversity and inclusion, but I am also talking about disability. Neurodivergence can be disabling and can be considered a disability. It depends greatly on how performing neurotypical standards impacts your life. We can honor these different lived experiences bringing more awareness to them and celebrating those points of view!

Disability not inability. Different not deficient.

Color guide:

Red - physical disabilities
Gold - neurodiversity
White - invisible disabilities and disabilities that haven't yet been diagnosed
Blue - emotional and psychiatric disabilities, including mental illness, anxiety, and depression
Green - for sensory disabilities, including deafness, blindness, lack of smell, lack of taste, audio processing disorder, and all other sensory disabilities

Being a nerd about nature.
Very fortunate to have friends to adventure with (and keep you safe when curiosity takes you to the ledge)

It's a big question! This Women's History Month I want to advocate for awareness in all forms.

This is more of a thought exercise rather than a call to action, but if you want to share your ideas in the comments, please do!

At the rate in which we are losing voices in this world I'd like to know ways we want to honor and share them, now.

Beyond social media, how can we amplify voices? (Says the podcaster)

I think there are a million ways to communicate stories and amplify voices everyday. Even if it's just telling a friend about someone you admire.


Thank you and it's an honor!

The first 10 daily poems. For me, the practice of writing poetry makes me a better designer and.... a better person.

Trying to sort out my own emotions and creativity needs helps me be more empathetic and understanding to the needs of others and those we are designing for.

It's becoming a part of my design process.

As I said in the stories when I proposed this daily poem journey, I don't expect them to be any good! But I am glad that they exist.

Daily poems in posted in the stories, then posted in groups of ten.

Daily poem #2
Went on a spontaneous excursion with the many generations in my house. We ended up at a beautiful place that has quickly taken my breath away.
