Ren Andres, ASLA

Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Ren’s curiosity and admiration for the desert run deep. She attended Arizona State University for a Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability in 2015, magna cum laude and Master of Landscape Architecture in 2020. Her personal design philosophy is greatly informed by her self-appointed life purpose: to use her creativity and education to help others heal. She greatly values the restorative effects of nature and is driven to make it a more accessible part of everyday life. While gaining experience in the profession from conceptual design to construction administration, Ren draws inspiration from the public parks, civic spaces, trail systems, memorial gardens, and other therapeutic landscapes that she observes around Phoenix and other desert cities.
