Rae Ishee works as a landscape designer in New York City after graduating from LAEP in 2014. Current projects include a sweet 3-acre park in Manhattan and a wild simulated-below grade installation that tests the bounds of plants and public space. Working at the merger of art and science has been a long standing interest met with varied integration—sometimes the two converge seamlessly and other times they run in parallel. Work from her first master’s in Soil Science from the University of Vermont was recently published in the Journal of Environmental Quality and her current work is visible in the April 2015 issue of Landscape Architecture Magazine (Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects features).
