a graduate student in landscape architecture and civil & environmental engineering. academic interests include: ecology, function and learning through art and design.

Liz Browning holds a bachelor's degree in English literature and has
previously worked in the humanities at the University of Washington. Her
interests include historical and cultural studies, graphic design, and
small town life.

My educational background is in geology but since college I have worked lots of jobs in many places. As native westerner, I love the Skagit Valley and all that it has to offer. The enthusiasm that the people of Burlington have for this project is very inspiring and I look forward to presenting options to help the town reach its goals. What has impressed me most about Burlington is the connection between the people and the town, that and the cinnamon rolls.

With an undergraduate degree in geography, a lifelong interest in architecture and several years spent in the business world, my interest in landscape architecture comes from a few different perspectives. I've also been lucky to do a fair amount of traveling and hope that all of my different experiences combine to help me look at each new project from a unique viewpoint.

Liz Birkholz	Liz received an MFA in photography from Arizona State University in 1993. From 1993 to 1997 she exhibited widely at venues including the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography, Seattle Art Museum, and the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego. Liz Birkholz pursues her Masters of Landscape Architecture degree at the University of Washington. She thinks about mitigating the press of urban development at the waterfont in ecologically sound ways, GIS, and historic preservation.

I enjoy working in Burlington because it reminds me of my hometown in rural Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, the farms in my hometown have almost all been turned into developments. I hope that our studio class can help the citizens of Burlington preserve their valuable agricultural heritage.
Kelly Collins		Trish Nellermoe	I have an undergraduate degree from Pacific Lutheran University in Business Administration, a Juris Doctorate from the University of Oregon and a Masters in the Laws of Taxation from Boston University. I practiced law for 11 years for the City of Seattle as an assistant city attorney. I entered the University of Washington Landscape Architecture program when I decided that it was time for a career change. Much of my community work as an assistant city attorney has been useful to me in our studio projects such as this one. I am mindful of the fact that no design is successful unless it works for those who use the space. I love working with the citizens of Burlington and incorporating citizen ideas into a design that will help make Burlington an even better place to live and work.
Amy Cragg	Amy studied rocks as a geology major during her undergraduate career. She then went on to explore urban housing issues by working in affordable housing and community development agencies after college. She grew up in a small Wisconsin town that is facing many of the same challenges that Burlington does, which makes this project very interesting and pertinent to her personal experience. Her interests include examining public space and how people can best participate in the creation of their environment.
