Caitlin joined Ground Studio’s Napa office in the fall of 2025. Originally from Virginia Beach, she spent her childhood in South Carolina wandering creeks and forests before eventually returning to the coastal wetlands and beaches that shaped her understanding of the natural world. Often explored through her camera lens, landscapes like these have fostered not only her appreciation for nature’s beauty, but also her fascination with its underlying processes.
She earned her Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Clemson University, where her studies—along with a formative semester in Spain—deepened her commitment to design approaches rooted in context. Today, Caitlin strives to create landscapes that feel authentic and responsive, grounded in the unique character of their surroundings.
