Lauren Stimson, ASLA
Partner
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, 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 was raised by a Peace Corps father and Filipina mother that has given her a third space way of seeing and experiencing the world and is committed to an inclusive and progressive culture at STIMSON that supports a work | life balance. She has given talks at UMass Amherst, Smith College, the Conway School of Design, the Ecological Alliance, the ABX Symposium, the Cultural Landscape Foundation and the ASLA National Convention.
In 2023, she was honored to receive the Gilmore D. Clarke and Michael Rapuano/Kate Lancaster Brewster Rome Prize Fellowship from the American Academy in Rome.
