Juliet Booker

As a recent graduate from the University of Edinburgh's Master's in Landscape Architecture (MLA), I am passionate about how sustainability, social justice and community building can intertwine in the fabrics of landscapes. Drawing on my interdisciplinary background, with a bachelor of arts in journalism and professional experience in decolonial work, my work often explores how landscapes tell their stories and, in turn, how these stories can empower designs that push for more connected, caring and climate-conscious futures. In 2025, I was awarded the Helen A.

Rose Prize and the ESALA Master of Landscape Architecture Prize. Along with a strong background in communication, I am proficient in hand drawing, Adobe Suite, AutoCad, Microsoft Office, Adobe Experience Manager and GIS.
