Audrey West (PLA, ASLA) thought she was transitioning from a career in early childhood education to a degree and career in landscape architecture. She soon realized that designing supportive environments for children is based on the same principals of eliciting social, emotional and educational outcomes in the classroom. At the same time, she suffered an injury that made her take a deep dive into understanding what it’s like to move through the built environment with a physical limitation. Now, Audrey brings over two decades of experience helping communities translate their hopes and visions into inclusive environments that are relevant and usable for everyone—parks and play areas, healing gardens, supportive housing, streets, and civic, cultural and educational campuses. As Director of Landscape Architecture in MIG’s Seattle office, Audrey offers her multi-perspective expertise in team building, conceptualization, participatory design, management and construction administration—designing and constructing spaces that, at their core, are about the community.
