Ben has worked extensively throughout the world to uncover unique cultural expressions within the public realm, and to create communities celebrating the natural environment of each place.

Ben holds a Master of Landscape Architecture, a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Design, is a USGBC BD+C Accredited Professional, a RELi Accredited Professional, and a licensed Landscape Architect in the State of Minnesota. His work has been recognized by ASLA Minnesota with several awards.
