Stephanie Wolfgang

Stephanie Wolfgang fell in love with landscape through travel, and a discovery that landscapes are never static, and not meant to be: they are powerful storytelling tools that change and adapt to new seasons, and new histories.  

Stephanie’s landscape designs retain that original sense of wonder, and since 2012 she has worked to tell stories of place in Atlanta. At George Mason University, she revamped a student pedestrian walk, and weaved in a complex recognition of the role of the university’s namesake in holding people in bondage through a reflective monument to his enslaved people, elevating them from static pieces to a catalyst for dialogue. A leader combining landscape and storytelling, she sets a standard for landscapes re-contextualizing the spaces they beautify beyond aesthetics.
