At Project Samsara, design is not a linear checklist; it’s a living cycle. Our work unfolds across seasons of listening, gathering, imagining, and tending. Each project is rooted in rhythm. Each offering is part of a regenerative whole.

The Samsara Cycle guides our approach to place-based, community-led landscape design. Nothing exists in isolation. Research is not separate from care, and beauty is never separate from impact.

We move through four fluid phases. And wherever you are in your journey, we can meet you there.



The Samsara Cycle 

Grounding We begin every project by attuning to the land, community, and context.
This is our season of learning, sensing, and deep listening.


Before we draw anything, we listen. Grounding helps us understand what a place already knows about itself.

Offerings include:
  • Existing Conditions Analysis
  • Qualitative + Quantitative Mapping
  • Feasibility Studies
  • Ethnographic Research
  • Programming, Mobility + Circulation Analysis
  • Preliminary Project Budgeting






Co-Creation
This is where visioning happens. Through participatory practices, we invite communities and collaborators to shape the future together.

Design is a shared language. Co-Creation ensures the work reflects the stories and dreams of those it’s made for.

Offerings include:
  • Workshop Facilitation
  • Educational Workshops
  • Curriculum Writing
  • Outreach Graphic Design
  • Temporary Events + Programming




Cultivation Here, the creative work takes shape. We synthesize community insight and ecological knowledge into spaces that foster belonging, beauty, and resilience.

Cultivation is where intention becomes form and where the invisible becomes visible.

Offerings include:
  • Landscape Design Consultations
  • Landscape Architectural Design
  • Interior Design
  • Community Development Design
  • Urban Design Framework Plans
  • Installation Design
  • Public Realm Interventions
  • Plant + Material Palettes
  • Precedent Research
  • Rendering + Graphic Representation
  • Creative Direction







Tending Design doesn’t end with drawings. It lives on through care.

In the Tending phase, we remain engaged, offering soulful and technical support throughout implementation and beyond.

We tend what we build, because landscapes grow, shift, and evolve.

Offerings include:
  • Construction Administration + Support
  • Project Management
  • Contractor Coordination Support
