Gracie Meek
Landscape Designer

Gracie is a landscape designer from Dallas, Texas, where she and her geologist parents frequently embarked on fossil hunting excursions to uncover the hidden geologic histories of the landscapes they explored. She graduated from Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art, and Planning in 2022 with a Bachelor of Architecture, where she received the Robert James Eidlitz Travel Fellowship.

Her interest in landscape’s ability to shape human experiences inspired her career shift to landscape architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where she earned a Master of Landscape Architecture with Distinction in 2024. At Harvard, she received the Peter Walker and Partners Fellowship for Landscape Architecture and the Penny White Travel Fund. The awards enabled her to initiate an ongoing research project where she LiDAR scans Ancestral Puebloan ruins across the American Southwest to document instances of distinctive architectural solutions that are tightly bound to the region’s geologic context.

Gracie’s research and design process always begins by piecing together the site’s natural history and incorporating it into her design’s social and aesthetic aspects.
