woods lake / summer 2020

I am a landscape designer and engineer-in training currently practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area. I grew up in Arizona, where I developed a deep appreciation for water and resilient desert landscapes. I obtained my Bachelors degree in Civil Engineering from Arizona State University before achieving my Masters degree in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning from UC Berkeley in 2023. I currently practice at Restoration Design Group in West Berkeley, where my work integrates ecological restoration and watershed principles with grading, infrastructure design, and thoughtful site planning. I'm currently pursuing licensure as a professional landscape architect in California and am interested in expanding my work further into the American Southwest. Along with my design practice, I enjoy practicing alternative photography to creatively explore landscape, texture, and light. Photography has challenged me to deepen the way I observe and understand environments and the relationship between people, water, and place. This online portfolio is intended to share my work and to express creativity, curiosity, and appreciation for the environment. I'm always interested in collaborating, whether it be related to landscape and drainage design or a photography project. View all posts by Hannah Hansen
