Hi there! Thanks for checking out my website.
I don’t have any social media presence (except for a career-specific LinkedIn profile), so I may have given you this website in lieu of an “@”.
You can see all my work and portfolio here, and also some of my life experiences! Check out my photography, my origami, and my mixology study.
Please reach me at isammaig@gmail.com
Hope to connect soon!

Who Am I?
28. Massachusetts kid into Philadelphia adult. Current student of landscape architecture with the ultimate goal of becoming a licensed landscape architect.
My background in sociopolitical soft sciences has led me to investigate the built environment. My goal in landscape architecture is to convert once egalitarian but pernicious lawns into visually beautiful and ecologically vibrant gardens.
