Always looking for new inspiration, SuLin is a seasoned jet setter whose adventures have taken her around the globe both by air and sea. From Hawaii to London to South Korea, she loves exploring new cultures through the lens of local cuisine... just as long chocolate is not on the menu!
SULIN KOTOWICZ, PLA, FASLA
SENIOR LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT
With a strong eye for detail, SuLin is drawn to the technical components that serve as a foundation to the built environment. She excels at developing design solutions to complex grading and site challenges, and strives to create landscapes that are ecologically functional public spaces. Her enthusiasm for environmental design and green infrastructure led her to become a Certified Stormwater Management Operator, and she excels at calculating detailed cost estimates from non-motorized trails to large-scale urban public spaces. SuLin's interests and extensive experience in documentation and construction administration are complemented by her enjoyment of field work, overseeing the transformation of the landscape through design.
SuLin is a strong advocate for the landscape architecture field. Serving in leadership roles in both the National and Michigan Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), she currently sits on ASLA's Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees as the Vice President of Finance.
