THOMAS BAKER

ASSOCIATE

Thomas believes that great landscape architecture illuminates the connections between plants and people. His work incorporates an understanding and adaptation of natural systems into sustainably built and planted environments. As a self-described “painter-plantsman” Thomas fills sketchbooks with drawings and watercolors that stem from a desire to communicate the hidden side of everyday landscapes and the human experience.

Thomas received his Bachelor of Science in Horticulture from Clemson University in 2010 and his Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia in 2015, where he served as a teaching assistant and received the Neel Reid Scholarship. In 2015, he was named Olmsted Scholar by the Landscape Architecture Foundation. Other formative experiences include his film production for a PBS nature television program, freelance design work for the South Carolina Botanical Garden, and studying landscape painting in the Netherlands.
