David
grew up in agrarian Iowa, in a sensual landscape characterized by
change and geometry. The lifelong emotional connection he has with
that landscape has influenced much of his thinking.
In
his 20-year career as a licensed landscape architect, David has
directed the design and execution of many prestigious, award-winning
projects throughout the world. He is an adjunct professor at the
University of California in Berkeley and is a frequent traveling
lecturer and critic. Recent
winner of the Rome Prize in landscape architecture, David has distinguished
himself through his passion, character and ability to reveal "right"
physicality. His designs are simple, deliberate marks on the land
that speak to their surroundings and employ nature's palette judiciously.

From a family of ceramic artists, Ramsey grew up in the deciduous forest of rural Western Massachusetts. Landscape Architecture perfectly combined Ramsey’s interests in sculptural topographies and ecological process.
Ramsey’s work is thoughtful and diligent. She seeks connections through form, and elegance through refinement of materials. Success is measured by revealing the unexpected. Ramsey was a Visiting Instructor at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was the recipient of the Faculty Medal of Honor. With over ten years practicing in the Bay Area, prior to founding her partnership with David, she worked at the offices of Peter Walker and Partners and Hargreaves Associates. As a mom of two, she seeks ceaseless inspiration from her children’s boundless energy and unconstrained creativity.
