Kate Dana’s habit of doodling on elementary school desks led to an eclectic path through illustration, industrial and graphic design and ultimately outside to the realm of landscape.

Now in her 15th year of landscape architecture and design experience, her design approach is driven by sustainability, functionality, regional context and elegant aesthetics.
Kate has worked in all aspects of landscape architecture and design for Newport, RI based firms: Verde Design + Horticulture, PlaceSTUDIO, and L+A Landscape Architecture
(now renamed LIRIO). Projects included residential, commercial, institutional and city planning design often working collaboratively with architects, civil engineers and other allied professionals. Projects such as City Walk Providence, Landfill Garden and Gardens of the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum have won awards from the RIASLA, RIPLA, and RIAIA. Residential projects have ranged from compact in-town urban yards to estate scale properties. Commercial and institutional project throughout Aquidneck Island and beyond have included retail businesses and institutions including Middletown YMCA, Newport Art Museum, and Norman Bird Sanctuary. Kate always designs with sensitivity to the client and the property’s needs from siting buildings for new construction to work on historic properties.
Kate uses a combination of industry standard software tools including AutoCAD, SketchUp, Adobe design apps, MS Office apps, and hand drawing to produce drawings, plans, renderings, 3D models, reports, and presentations for projects. Additional experience creating supporting materials and capabilities include everything from site analysis to landscape plans, planting plans, grading & drainage, materials and plant selection, construction details, cost estimating, presenting to clients and stakeholders, and construction supervision.
Kate has a BFA in industrial design from Rhode Island School of Design and an MA in sustainable landscape design and planning from the Conway School of Landscape Design. Additional studies include gardening & horticulture, city planning, green roof infrastructure, foodscaping, regenerative design and permaculture.
She is a RI Certified Master Composter and member of the Ecological Landscape Association.
