Ilisa Goldman
Rooted In Place Landscape Architecture and Consulting Founder
Greater San Diego Area
Founded in 2012 Rooted In Place Landscape Architecture and Consulting, specializes in creating neighborhood public spaces and dynamic outdoor learning environments for children of all ages to play, learn, and develop a relationship with nature. Social equity, ecological health and inclusion are the core values of Rooted In Place. We provide programming, facilitation, and design for outdoor environments, with a focus on connecting users to the natural world. We take a unique approach to all of our projects through a holistic community engagement and place making process. Each project responds to its own distinctive sense of place (ecology, culture, history) and its users. Whether working with other design professionals, clients, contractors, or community stakeholders and user groups, each project encourages cross-sector collaboration, which ensures the best ideas are heard, all needs are met and a sense of ownership is developed.
