Hello, I'm
Courtney Sawyer.

About Me

I'm passionate about working at the intersection of design and community, and believe that activating our spaces is crucial for our physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. With a background in architecture and a variety of design experience, I thrive on creating high-quality, engaging environments. I have executed projects in the spaces of community development, architecture, urban design, landscape design, and environments and exhibit design.
