Lisa Switkin is a Partner at Field Operations, where she leads transformative projects at the intersection of ecology, urbanism, and community. Lisa will share her approach to the public realm as a dynamic medium—one that holds memory, enables discovery, and shapes experience. Through Field Operations' work on waterfronts, post-industrial sites, and public infrastructure, she'll discuss how design can amplify what's already there while imagining what's possible—crafting experiential spaces that are deeply rooted in community, climate, and culture.
