Justine is a graduate of UC Berkeley’s Master of Landscape Architecture Program and the University of Utah’s Multi-Disciplinary Design program. Her work explores the intersection of art, ecology, and climate resilience, with a particular interest in bird migration, wetlands, and historical ecologies. In the summer of 2025, she followed the migration corridor of the Rufous hummingbird, traveling through California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado with support from the Geraldine Knight Scott Traveling Fellowship. She documented the species' stopover and breeding habitats through drawing, writing, and photography. Rooted in a fascination with the natural world, Justine views design as a powerful tool for fostering meaningful connections between humans and non-humans. Originally from Oregon’s Willamette Valley, she draws inspiration from the region’s diverse landscapes and is excited to return to them through her work.
