The ASLA-NY Member Spotlight is our way to shed some light on the diversity of landscape architects and designers in our region who may not always be in the spotlight. Our goal is to share member's stories, recognize members’ accomplishments across all career stages, highlight the diversity of our membership, and to help members feel connected by learning more about each other.
