Samantha Hernandez

Sam is a landscape designer who has worked on projects that range from active transportation projects, trails, and public spaces. She hopes to help foster the relationship with people and their environment through design. Sam received her BSLA from Cal Poly Pomona, held leadership roles for the ASLA Student Chapter at CPP, and was awarded design + scholarship awards from the landscape architecture department.

“Growing up in Los Angeles, I've always thought that you needed a car to go anywhere. The more I was stuck in traffic, the more I started contemplating the redesign of city infrastructure. The impact active transportation can have on public spaces is critical to the physical and mental well-being for people. Being able to make these spaces a possibility makes everyday something to anticipate.”
