MAURA McDANIEL DESIGNER

Hi! I’m Maura.
I am driven by a curiosity about what sorts of stories can be uncovered in the landscapes that surround us. I’m excited by the ecological processes, cultural practices, and material transformations that help us connect to a sense of place. To study and understand these connections, I like to work through research, material studies, and storytelling.
I’ve often been told that I bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to my design work; I love having the chance to experiment, test, and iterate ideas. I find there’s a lot of overlap between my personal interests and my work- I’m often inspired by my pursuits in art, photography, fiction, and collaborative architectural and design practices. I believe that connection to place and our natural environment is critical, and I find so much excitement in sharing this with others!
Outside of the office, you can catch me walking around the neighborhood with my dog, Ollie (looking for new flowers to admire!), checking out a new restaurant or brewery, or buried in my newest novel.
Favorite plant: Quaking Aspen, Populus tremuloides
