Heidi Loosen

Heidi is a landscape designer with a Bachelor's degree in visual art and a Master's degree in Landscape Architecture from UC Berkeley. She has worked with a number of distinguished firms in the San Francisco Bay Area, including John Northmore Roberts & Associates, Daphne Edwards Landscape Architecture, and SHED Landscape Architecture.

Heidi is drawn to the heterogeneity of work within Landscape Architecture - variable sites, scales, and forces forming each place and project to be distinctive. Working on teams designing a range of landscape types, Heidi approaches each project with an interest in local social and ecological communities, a drive for design simplicity, and creative problem-solving skills. Heidi believes that the best landscapes we can create are those that engage the senses in the present, yet hold a long view - landscapes that can weather, resist and regenerate in the face of climate change.

Outside of work, Heidi enjoys reading the “sense of place” stories that she finds in the Little Free Libraries around her neighborhood. She also loves dogs, cats, hiking, and hands-on projects like building prairie gardens and furniture.
