Speaker Bio
Jamie is a Principal at CMG Landscape Architecture with 24
years of experience. She believes landscape design has a
social and environmental responsibility and enjoys working
with engaged communities. Over the past 10 years, Jamie has
participated in many of the firm’s largest and most complex
open space projects around the Bay Area.
She has been on the forefront of sea level rise adaptation and planning
and is currently leading Crissy Field Next, OAAC ADAPT, and De-Pave Park.
She co-led CMG’s participation in the Estuary Commons, a community
design and planning process for the protection and restoration of San
Leandro Bay. Jamie pioneered the integration of design and ecological
storm water treatment at all scales, from small scale urban biofilters like
Folsom Street, to integrated masterplans, such as Bay Meadows and
Treasure Island.
Many of Jamie’s projects, such as Hunters Point Shipyard Hillpoint Park
and Marin Country Day School, have been honored with Merit and Honor
Awards from the American Society of Landscape Architects. Jamie
lectures frequently on the issues of sea level rise, public space, and
ecology, and recently co-lectured Ecological Factors in Urban Landscape
Design in UC Berkeley’s LAEP Department. Her appreciation for design
stems from her collegiate study at the Auburn Rural Studio where she
received a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. Jamie also holds a Master
of Landscape Architecture from Harvard Graduate School of Design.
