Description

Erin F. Stevens, a native of the barrier islands along the South Carolina coast, has built her career on an insistence that when executed superbly, community design and landscape architecture are capable of addressing humanity’s most challenging issues. She believes that a well-designed outdoor space—no matter the scale—has great potential to engage community while providing biodiversity, increasing resilience, conserving natural resources, and promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Her greatest passion—both personally and professionally—is in recognizing the inherent social, ecological, and functional potentials of specific sites and working tirelessly to help them come to life. In 2016, Erin founded Surculus, a landscape architecture and urban design firm focused on increasing resilience and effectively integrating ecologically sensitive systems into urbanized and other human-affected contexts. Erin has worked on a variety of large and small scale planning and design projects including a federally-funded transit study for the Charleston region, master-planning and landscape architecture for low-impact communities within highly contaminated watersheds, and  urban pollinator / wildlife-supportive gardens in the southeastern region. She holds a Bachelors in English from Harvard University and a Masters in Landscape Architecture from the University of Georgia.
