Avery McMurtry is an artist and designer. Graduating with a BFA in Experience Design from Northeastern University in 2023, Avery considers herself a jack-of-all-trades and master-of-none. She enjoys solving problems and learning new ways to work with her hands. She sees design as a tool and a process that allows us to better understand the world and ourselves.

Avery’s artistic inspiration always comes back to her home of Charleston, South Carolina and her relationship with the landscape. She seeks joy and whimsy in all of her pursuits.

In her spare time, she enjoys gardening for pollinators, plant identification, traveling, swimming in the ocean, and searching Ebay for increasingly niche secondhand clothing.

Avery joined Reed Hilderbrand Landscape Architecture on the marketing team in 2023 and lives in Rhode Island, but can often be found back home in Charleston.
