Julia Higson, Designer

Driven by curiosity about the relationships between culture, communities, and nature, Julia believes strongly in centering environmental responsibility and social equity through design. In her work she explores agency and dynamism at the interface of ecology and culture. Across a wide range of project types and scales she seeks to foster connections between people and the natural world, to create spaces that are not only beautiful, but also resilient and socially vibrant.

Julia received her B.A. in Geography and Anthropology from Penn State University, and her Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of British Columbia. She brings a background in spatial analysis and GIS, research, and planning to her work.
