We design thoughtful, site-responsive landscapes that connect people to place.
Through a collaborative process, we create spaces that inspire, ground, and evolve - rooted in curiosity, stewardship, and a deep respect for living systems.

Farmer’s daughter raised between two islands (in the Puget Sound + in middle of the Pacific) who loves lava rock as much as a cushy northwest forest floor, heads south to Nayarit, Mexico whenever she gets a break to work on her family’s off-the-grid home in the jungle, once drove a sports car full to the brim of flowers through Tuscany to adorn a wedding, will always encourage the group to take the happy hour sunset walk through the garden.
Alana’s design background focuses on off-the-grid design build projects, climate adaptive design, urban planning + design, botanical installations and event design.

Melanie Bowerman
PLA
Native Angeleno, loves color and reflective objects just as much as any raccoon, has her bare toes in the mud as much as possible, loves the smell of guavas, crushes wine grapes with her feet every fall at her parents tiny hobby vineyard, once convinced 8 strangers to help lift an 800 pound rootball out of her backyard into the back of a pickup (I knew we could do it!), believes truly that getting to know our neighbors is necessary for our future survival and well-being, not to mention quite fun.
Melanie’s design background has centered on public interest design, education, transitional housing, greywater systems, public edible gardens and mural work.
