Hi-- I'm Chelsea! I am currently pursuing my Masters of Landscape Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Prior to pursuing my MLA, I received a BArch from Virginia Tech, and worked professionally as a project manager in both Chicago and Los Angeles.
When not making and designing, I enjoy meeting other makers, hiking, and exploring new cities.
