<br />Proposed Project Team and Experience - Professional Profiles
<br />Lydia A. Major, ASLA, LEED AP
<br />Project Manager
<br />Lydia brings to projects a passion for design that benefits the client, the community,
<br />and the environment. She works with a number of clients and communities to create
<br />vibrant public, residential, and commercial places. Her projects have included broad -
<br />scaled community, park, trail, and transportation system planning projects where
<br />her skills with public engagement and geographic information systems (GIS) help
<br />generate public support and real solutions. At the other end of the spectrum, Lydia
<br />designs and drafts plans for smaller spaces that become valued and engaging places.
<br />Lydia integrates her skills with AutoCAD, SketchUp, ArcGIS, and the Adobe Creative
<br />Suite to produce compelling plans, 3D models, color renderings, booklets, and other
<br />presentation materials. Communication is a critical component in all projects, and
<br />Lydia uses her education as a writer to create compelling project documents, including
<br />master plans, proposals, city submittals, and other communications materials.
<br />Lydia has extensive experience leading and participating in community engagement
<br />and collaborative design processes, including downtown planning, park and recreation,
<br />transportation and streetscaping, campuses, and related planning and design. She has
<br />worked with communities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan on downtown
<br />planning projects very similar to the process proposed here. Lydia's passion for the
<br />participatory design process has helped many communities find common ground and
<br />momentum for positive change.
