                  History


                  After earning her bachelor's degree in 1981 from Michigan State University, Ruth Hamberg interned with the MSU Office of Parks and Planning, then with the City of Lansing Parks Dept. Ruth joined Linsemier and Associates to work on the Lansing River Trail Master Plan and a variety of multifamily projects. Ruth made a move to Florida in 1987 to work at the City of Orlando as an Urban Design Planner and stayed for almost 12 years. While there, Ruth was project manager for the Edgewater Drive Enhancement Plan, the Traditional City Overlay District, the first Urban Design Element of the Growth Management Plan in Florida, wrote the 'Xeriscape' Landscape ordinance, worked on historic districts, performed project review for Municipal Planning Board, Board of Zoning Adjustment and the Appearance Review Board. She also worked on the sign code, the billboard issues and pushed for better tree preservation.  Ruth was the project manager for the North International Drive Improvement Project in the tourist district. She also was on the staff team involved with the redevelopment of the Orlando Naval Training Center to Baldwin Park. Next she worked as a Senior Planner at Land Design Innovations Inc. (now SM&E) and contributed several award winning projects.  In 2002 Ruth opened her own studio to focus on primarily public clients.

                  What makes a town livable?

                  We create places for people to gather and to connect to nature.  We create great walkable streets that serve all modes of travel, from on
                  foot to bicycle to car to public transit.  Each town is unique in its history, geography and values.  A design plan should feature the best
                  assets and address challenges, bringing residents together to form a consensus on a shared vision.
