“Within my bachelors of interior design and my current masters of landscape architecture, it has been my main goal as a designer to blend the built environment with nature. I am greatly inspired by and admirative of Fallingwater and Frank Lloyd Wright’s design initiatives, and am honored to have had the opportunity to work here. Within our projects, considering visitor and employee experiences while maintaining this connection between the built environment and nature has been the design experience of a lifetime. I am so grateful to have been able to learn from the team at Fallingwater, and contribute to the design and place that continues to inspire.”

Throughout her life, Willow has been deeply interested in and inspired by nature. As a designer, her goal is to bridge the gap between the built environment and nature, and contribute to a more sustainable future where people feel more connected to the environments they inhabit.
