RESUME18

My name is Erin Garnaas-Holmes. I am a landscape activist, ecological designer and socially engaged artist. I have a Master of Landscape Architecture Degree and Master of Urban and Regional Planning Degree. I grew up in Montana, New Hampshire and Minnesota, and I currently live in Boston.

Advocacy means listening and responding to the needs of others in a spirit of collaboration and support.

I advocate because I empathize. I listen to the needs of my clients, communities and coworkers. I put myself in others’ shoes and I visualize how better design of space or systems can solve problems. I create narratives that inspire others to share my vision and passion for change. I advocate especially for communities that do not have access to sustainable design, not only because it is the equitable thing to do but also because it expands the role, impact, understanding and appreciation of design and planning done by groups like yours.

I came into the professions of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning from the field of social justice

work in Washington, DC. I worked with Bread for the City, an organization that provides myriad services to the DC’s poorest residents, leading volunteer projects and coordinating sustainability projects including the construction of the District’s largest rooftop vegetable garden.

I strongly believe that designers, planners and their allies have the calling and capacity to massively transform cities into healthy, productive and socially just communities. My graduate capstone project explored how ecological restoration of a superfund site could not only remediate contaminated water and soil, but also create leverage for community development, job creation and government investment in a low-income area. It won the 2014 Capstone Award and was celebrated by local stakeholders.

Futurism means anticipating trends and preparing for change.

When I think about the future, I think about how changes to our world—from population growth and climate change to lab-grown meat and crowdsourced science—will impact the fundamental ways that we live. I look at current trends, consider the nature of paradigm shifts and imagine how planning and design can capitalize on change to build a healthier future. By anticipating the future, we create it. I will help you design projects that position you to take advantage of emerging trends and remain on the cutting edge.

Futurism fuels my imagination and spurs my creative work. Wondering how the world could be transformed for the better keeps me optimistic, and projects steeped in optimism are easier to sell to clients and the public. For example, Transition: Seattle explores how landscape designers and planners can anticipate massive change over coming decades in economic, political and ecological paradigms. My proposal envisioned a new landscape for an economy of small-scale production and capitalization on ecosystem services. Together with the 2012 Everywhere Nowhere Duwamish studio, it won the 2013 Award of Excellence from the Minnesota Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

INTERVENE HERE

Being a strategist means finding leverage for success and building a roadmap toward my goals.

Great ideas don’t simply happen because of they are great. I am interested in how planners and designers can bring the best ideas to fruition. I analyze social, political and economic playing fields to identify allies, opportunities and leverage. I strategize possible steps and

alternative courses of action to build relationships, support and capacity for projects. Design is political, and building political resilience into an implementation plan is crucial to making your best ideas a built reality. For my graduate capstone project, I identified key partners that would not only be affected by my proposal, but could also be powerful allies in making it happen. I identified policies

and economic opportunities that gave leverage to the strategies I designed. I mapped relationships between the goals of organizations and framed my own proposal to satisfy the mission of several groups. I developed a participation plan and timeline for community involvement in the project, and I continue to collaborate with government agencies and community advocacy groups on this proposal.

PARTICIPATIONI work toward

Public participation in the process of city-making leads to better understanding about urban design, sustainable behavior and relationships between people and place.

Public engagement is crucial for nearly every public project, and should be used to build relationships between potential allies and clients. Participation processes allow designers, planners and artists to not only gauge the public interest but also shape public conversations about important issues.

I have designed and led several public participation processes, primarily through the use of public art as an

engagement tool. These events raise awareness about issues, inform design and planning decisions, increase community capacity to carry out projects and—not least importantly—are fun. Enhancing the public participation events and strategies that you currently use will build a wider audience for your work and increase appreciation for your approach.

Socioecological entrepreneurism is the search for innovative solutions to social and ecological crises that make economic sense in today’s market.

I am passionate about finding more ways for designers, planners and consultants to earn profit while making the world a better place. It is difficult to be both ecologically sustainable and socially equitable in a growth based economy and a fragmented society. However, ecological designers and sustainability planners are poised to set precedents for businesses globally by finding creative ways to win in a consumer market that increasingly demands better practices from

companies. I want to work with you because you are already doing this kind of work. I want to help you by bringing an asset-based approach to finding ways to increase the social and ecological benefits of your projects while reducing their cost.

My capstone project Wasted Opportunity explored an example of this kind of win-win situation, demonstrating how the gradual phytoremediation of brownfields can generate economic development and train otherwise underemployed residents while removing dangerous contaminants in soil and water.

Justice means equitable access to resources and opportunities, including sustainable places and healthy lifestyles.

Healthy, sustainable design has the potential to significantly impact low-income communities. I am passionate about finding financially and culturally sustainable ways to bring first class design to communities that cannot afford it but suffer from fragile environments and unhealthy landscapes. I look forward to collaborating with you to expand

the positive impact of your ongoing work and lead emerging professional expansions into designing for good.

Much of my academic work focused on spatial justice, including Networked North, an argument and design for transit access in North Minneapolis. I was also an early co-chair of Students for Design Activism, a Minnesota-based student group that connects design students to community groups to explore innovative solutions to sustainability problems in a collaborative learning environment.
