Avery McMurtry is an experience designer who believes the most compelling encounters are the ones that make something invisible suddenly impossible to ignore — a migration route passing overhead, a forest sitting quietly at the edge of town, the way a designed landscape can hold the memory of a place.

She holds a BFA in Experience Design from Northeastern University, with minors in Landscape Architecture and Art History. For three years she worked at Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architecture, one of the country's leading cultural landscape practices, contributing to proposals and communications for projects at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, San Antonio Botanical Garden, Cummer Museum, and Pennsylvania Avenue, among many others. Her independent work includes Migration, a public installation on Sullivan's Island, South Carolina, that housed and released 150 monarch butterflies over the course of a season.

She is currently based in Newport, Rhode Island, and is open to experience design roles in Boston and Providence.
