Nate’s interest in landscape design as a form of storytelling drew him to Los Angeles after two decades of practice in Seattle and an MLA from Harvard. Nate’s projects, including downtown parks in Denver, Houston, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs, unearth stories of place as catalysts for authentic urban life. Nate teaches and lectures on landscape design at universities and conferences around the country. He has been active on the boards of the national Landscape Architecture Foundation and numerous urban environmental and civic groups. Nate’s current research interest centers around thermal comfort in places that experience extreme heat.
