sandra meulners graduated in may 2012 with a degree title of master of landscape architecture at the university of minnesota in the twin cities.

passions in the field of landscape architecture include reclamation and remediation of outdated urban infrastructure and land, community based design, as well as reintegration of cultural significance within the landscape of the city and region.

sandra believes that the graphic representation of landscapes and the qualities about them can begin to capture the essence and spirit of a place, as well as speak volumes of the intrinsic character of a place.
