Celebrating the Women Shaping Our Landscape Architecture Team

March 24, 2025 / Catherine McCullough

March is Women's History Month, a time to recognize the contributions of women who have shaped history in countless ways. In the world of landscape architecture, women have long been essential in designing spaces that connect people to nature.

At McCullough, we're proud to have a team made up of talented women from diverse backgrounds, including India, China, Israel, and across the U.S., whose creativity, innovation, and unique perspectives make our work richer. While having a majority-women team wasn’t intentional, it’s something we appreciate and celebrate. We believe in empowering women's leadership in design and the built environment because their voices help create spaces that are thoughtful, serene, and genuinely meaningful.

Honoring Our Team

The women on our team are more than designers, they are leaders, innovators, and collaborators dedicated to shaping thoughtful, resilient, and inspiring spaces. Their diverse perspectives enrich our projects and help us create meaningful places where people can connect with nature and each other.

As we celebrate Women's History Month, we recognize the impact of these talented women and the lasting legacy of women in landscape architecture. To all the women shaping our world through design, we celebrate you today and every day.
