Laura Noel is an interdisciplinary designer whose work bridges landscape architecture, garden design, and urban farming. Raised in the post-industrial city of Akron, Ohio, her practice explores how landscape design can help restore not only ecosystems but also communities and cultural memory.

Laura combines her background in ecological planting design and urban policy with a reflective, human-centered approach to advocate for adaptive reuse and sustainable development through productive and ecologically resilient urban landscapes.

She holds a Bachelor’s in Urban Planning and a Master’s in Landscape Architecture from the University of Cincinnati, along with a Planting Design Diploma from the London College of Garden Design. Her training in herbalism and botany at the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine also continues to shape her approach to design.
