Porter Brown

I joined DSA Environment & Design in the summer of 2025, between my second and third year of studying BSc Landscape Architecture at the University of Sheffield. I reached out with the goal of working within a professional practice and expanding on my ability to design alongside professionals. I have now returned to DSA for my “year out’ as part of the UoS MLA programme. 

DSA provided me with lots of opportunities to work across different sectors of landscape architecture during my summer placement such as planning, detailed design and design communication where I developed my graphic skills. 

During my undergraduate BSc, I developed strong interests in ecology, urban design and sustainable landscapes. Throughout my work, I aim to intertwine these interests to positively address contemporary landscape challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss.
