Diane M. Lipovsky | Bio
Part One: I spent my childhood in Hyattsville, Maryland, just a stone's throw (or two metro stops) from Washington, DC. In 2001, I moved out to Los Angeles to attend the University of Southern California to study Cinema and Italian. Upon graduating in 2005, I spent two years working as Academic Advisor and Admissions Counselor for a USC College honors program. In my free time, however, I rediscovered my love of painting, moonlighted as a volunteer for the Tree People organization and worked with my neighbors to transform our apartment building's rough patchwork of weeds and rocks into an experimental, edible urban garden.
Part Two: In 2007, having landed (no pun intended) upon Landscape Architecture as the best possible way to engage my passions, I trekked back across the country to attend Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. I am now in the process of completing my final semester of the Master's of Landscape Architecture Program (MLA I). In the past two summers, I've had the great joy of interning at Ayers/Saint/Gross in Baltimore, MD and the Charles River Watershed Association in Weston, MA. At ASG I worked primarily on the landscape master plan for the University of Scranton. It was a great experience in which I learned much while contributing in a real-world design environment. At CRWA I developed stormwater management proposals for Chelsea and Franklin, MA.
Part Three: To be determined...
