From Intern to Designer, Welcome Back, Corey Watanabe!
One of our amazing interns in 2023, Corey Watanabe, newly returns to Agency as a landscape designer!
Corey is a landscape designer and graduate of the Master of Landscape Architecture program at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he was named the University’s 2024 Olmsted Scholar and received the MIG Scholarship for Equitable and Inclusive Environments. As an artist, maker, and designer, he firmly believes in the power of landscape to uplift marginalized voices, shed light on silenced histories, and dismantle systemic barriers within our built environment. His research focuses on reframing cultural perceptions of “invasive species” and the histories of Asian American vernacular landscapes. Outside of the studio, Corey enjoys nerding out about plants on hikes, surfing, and making textile art.
Join us in re-welcoming Corey!
