Natalie Boverman is a designer and planner working to support people and plants in the places we live. Working across regional landscapes in the North- and Southeast as well as the West coast, she is currently a designer and planner at SCAPE Landscape Architecture DPC and a chronic writer. She is grateful to partner with and learn from her inspiring clients and collaborators on projects varying in scale, sociopolitical histories, and ever-changing environmental conditions.
Integrating sectors and scales, Natalie has worked in climate resilience planning, city planning, architecture, interior design, and non-profit design in New York, Massachusetts, Washington, and Texas. In recent years she has worked as a consultant for the City of Kingston in New York’s Hudson Valley rolling out a new form-based zoning code and guiding city led development as well as with Boston Harbor Now to create a set of design principles for state required interior amenity spaces along Boston's waterfront. She holds dual Masters' Degrees in Urban Planning and Architecture with a concentration in climate, environment, and health from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design, where she received a distinction for her thesis on forestry, wildfire, and environmental histories of Oregon's timber industry. Before returning to academia, Natalie co-authored an independent research project on housing affordability and land tenure in Cambodia and completed several office and higher education projects with ZGF Architects. She has contributed to community design-build projects in both Montana and Battambang, Cambodia, and has studied urban architecture in Paris, France.
