pronouns: she/her
Miranda joined LTWC in October 2018 and currently serves as Landscape Designer and Stormwater Specialist. In this role she focuses on design and drafting support for voluntary stormwater retrofit projects, as well as graphic design for public outreach materials at the Council. She works closely with our Urban Waters & Wildlife Program Manager, Sarah Whitney.
As the daughter of a career Forest Service employee, Miranda spent her childhood surrounded by nature, which inspired strong values related to recreation and environmental stewardship. She came to Oregon for college and holds degrees in architecture and landscape architecture from the University of Oregon (B. Arch 2011, MLA 2015). Academically, she pursued coursework on water systems and human impacts to our environment; she is excited to apply this focus in her work with the Council and brings several years of professional design experience to the role. When not working, Miranda enjoys spending time outdoors, especially camping, hiking, and gardening. She unwinds by cooking and bread making and dabbles in landscape photography and various fine art media.
