Hi! I am Egle.
From a very young age, I have been fascinated by the power of storytelling. I believe storytelling can be a powerful tool when crafting landscape design narratives that hold the potential to become engaging and meaningful outdoor spaces. Through storytelling, I find ways to communicate design ideas, evoke emotion, and embed deeper meaning into the landscape.
Growing up in Lithuania’s northern Baltic Sea region has influenced the way I see landscapes, and my admiration for ephemeral, resilient, and native ecologies continue to shape my work. I enjoy connecting with people through a collaborative design process, and appreciate how this process kindles conversations, builds connections, and evolves into physically constructed objects and spaces.
In my free time, I enjoy making jewelry and working with glass beads. After growing up with a strong crafting tradition, beading has served as a way for me to connect to my roots and honor the tradition of making. You can find me at local artist markets throughout the Twin Cities where I am able to share my craft and connect with other makers.
