A lifelong Angeleno, Robin brings a deep understanding of the city’s physical terrain and its social fabric to her work. With a master’s in landscape architecture and a longstanding commitment to public space as a tool for equity, her work sits at the intersection of design, policy, and community.

Before joining SALT, Robin served as the Los Angeles Program Director at the Trust for Public Land, where she led projects that turned underutilized land into community-serving green space. Now, as SALT’s Director of Partnerships, she builds relationships across sectors—working with nonprofits, government agencies, community organizations, and fellow designers to help realize projects that align with the studio’s values of ecology, equity, and beauty.

Robin is motivated by the belief that public space can be a vehicle for systemic change. She sees advocacy as essential to the design process and is driven by the transformation that occurs when communities gain access to thoughtful, well-designed outdoor environments. For her, seeing a project through from vision to reality, and witnessing its impact, is among the most rewarding parts of the work.

She finds inspiration in interior design, color, texture, and other visceral qualities that make a space come alive. Outside the office, Robin is a devoted novice potter, finding joy in the simple act of working to center a mound of clay on the wheel.

Robin lives in LA with her husband and two kids, and is proud of the happy, grounded home they’ve built together.
