Founder and Vice President

An Arkansas native, Jenny is deeply passionate about the ways nature enhances and enriches everyday life. Jenny brings more than 15 years of experience in landscape architecture and project management, contributing to projects from urban infill and multi-family housing to public parks, outdoor recreation, and hospitality design on both regional and national scales.  She believes in the impact of built and wild spaces — and the need for both. She founded Prism on the principles of environmental stewardship, experience-driven design solutions, and a collaborative design process.

She loves an afternoon of sketching, running, playing soccer (yes, she will slide tackle you), or kayaking with her husband and three children on War Eagle, at their farm in Huntsville. Originally from Fort Smith, she earned her bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture from the Fay Jones School of Architecture at the University of Arkansas.

Susan is a graduate of Cornell University who joined Prism Design Studio in 2024 after spending multiple years in the residential design-build field. She has a strong background in planting design, and it’s something she truly loves! While attending Cornell, Susan was a member of their Division 1 equestrian team and completed a minor in animal science. She and her husband have a small herd of cattle, including Geronimo — the biggest grass puppy of a bull, as well as four horses, two dogs, and two cats. Special shout outs to Prism team favorites Lucky the Shetland pony, Rosie the former Cornell Equestrian pony, and RuPaul the purr-fect gentleman of a cat. Needless to say, her hands are full. When she's not busy taking care of the animals, you can probably find her with a book or a knitting project in her hands.
