Lisa Eppley-Pelusi graduated from Penn State’s Landscape Architecture program with an English minor in 1999, and after working for a five-person start-up landscape architecture firm in Michigan, has been with EDAW in Alexandria, Virginia since the Spring of 2001.  She has a breadth of design and planning experiences ranging from writing design guidelines and participating in the community master planning process for waterfronts, historic cemeteries and public parks, to intimate-scale garden and courtyard design. Her work includes efforts for federal, institutional and private sector clients.  She has traveled both inside and outside of the United States to participate in on-site workshops and has also completed several construction documentation packages which have lead to built work.

Lisa became an Associate at EDAW in the Fall of 2005. In the Fall of 2006, she opted toward a part time schedule in order to balance her family’s needs, along with her husband, Mark Pelusi (1993). Lisa can offer a broad project and personal perspective on developing and enjoying an ever-evolving career in landscape architecture.
