Designer Profile 5 & 6

5. Ryan Hargrove

Ryan is a Landscape Architect who now teaches at the University of Kentucky. He grew up with a mom who was an art teacher, so she always challenged him to be creative and think outside of the box. He was always into art and sciences and one day he fell upon landscape architecture, which is a great combination of both. He has worked on several projects in Louisville, Kentucky and has helped planned an upcoming gardening center in a local park. Ryan thinks social equality is an issue in design so he likes to go to less fortunate communities and do these projects to help change the equality. When asked about where design is going, he said people need to teach design specifically, "Knowing how to see the world." This is why Ryan is now a professor at the University of Kentucky because he wants to teach this while building relationships with students.

6. Sarah Daley

Sarah is an interpretive designer for 21st Century Park, which is a nonprofit organization. She attended the University of Kentucky where she majored in architecture and minored in anthropology. At 21st Century Park  she collects info of parkland and then has to come up with a way to share this information with the public. The coolest job she has had was for the Field Museum in Chicago, Illinois where she had to design where all of the physical aspects of each exhibit go. She is in charge of the layout of the rooms. She thinks design is only going to get better and it will always be around. Sarah said, "There is no field that can;t benefit from design." This is true because everything uses design in one way or another. She also sees design evolving even more through all of the new technology.
