Lauren Stimson, FAAR, ASLA
Partner and Principal

Lauren holds a Master of Landscape Architecture and a Master of Regional Planning from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She received her B.A. from Bates College in Maine where she studied Theater and Geology and was a Benjamin E. Mays Scholar. She studied Classical Theater in Athens, Greece. She is a licensed Landscape Architect in the states of Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island.

Her work is deeply informed by Charbrook, the farm studio that has become the landscape laboratory for STIMSON. Rural life and related interests in art, craft, foraging and gardening have shaped the way she thinks about design. Much of her work explores forgotten histories, wildness by intent, spontaneity and ultimately emotional response. She has lectured most recently at the New York Botanical Garden, the ASLA National Convention and the Atlantic Provinces Association of Landscape Architects.

She is the American Academy in Rome 2023/2024 Gilmore D. Clarke and Michael Rapuano/Kate Lancaster Brewster Rome Prize Fellow.
