Who We Are…

  • Peter Briggs, PLA

    “I love what I do. I find great satisfaction in looking at a complex situation and discovering the patterns within it that help lead to functional and creative solutions. My approach is to listen closely and ask questions. I believe that this is the only way to find the solutions that best meet our client’s needs and desires. Beyond this process of gathering information and refining outcomes, I feel lucky that I like most of the components of being a landscape architect. After over twenty years of being a landscape architect, I have a lot of knowledge and intellectual expertise to offer. I also offer the efficiency of maintaining software and process expertise. This allows for a high level of quality control, and making sure I’m always challenging Corvus Design to be more efficient and strategic. If we can do our work more efficiently, it leaves us more room to do it better and better. This also means we leave room for the innovation and fun that creates the best products for our clients.”

    Chris Mertl, PLA

    “I am so fortunate to be a landscape architect in one of the most amazing places in Alaska. The communities, people, history, culture and landscapes in Southeast are dynamic and vibrant. Each day is a new challenge and provides constant interest and excitement for me. One day I will be working with school children in a remote community designing a park and play area; the next day I am in an executive meeting with the Governor’s staff dealing with historic landscapes; and then knee deep in mud in the wilds of the Tongass National Forest performing a wetlands delineation. My environment and the local culture and history provide a never ending source for my design inspiration. My personal time is spent with my family camping, fishing, and hiking; and when everyone has gone to bed I sneak out to play and officiate hockey in the winter.”

  • Marie Hulse, PLA

    “It’s extremely rewarding to work with clients to help them take their project from vision to reality. With an understanding of a client’s desired outcomes, each project is a different puzzle to develop the right process and assemble the necessary documents to get to their endpoint. As a landscape architect, my experience is based on working with a very wide array of client types on a wide variety of projects. Previous to Corvus Design, I worked for a long time with a survey, planning, and engineering firm where my skills were applied to projects at all scales and intensities. I love the ability to focus in on a specific discrete task one-day and have it completed, and then be back at a different scale on another ongoing project the next day. This exposure provides me with a wide set of skills and knowledge that I bring to every project.”

  • Bradley Little

    Bradley is a landscape designer with a degree in landscape architecture from Clemson University. This education in landscape architecture has prepared him to work with diverse sites with various scales, locations, and needs. During his education and into his professional career, Bradley has continued to strengthen his interest in community-based and people-based designs. Bradley has a strong interest in how individuals react and interact with spaces through understanding the history, culture, and diversity of those sites.

  • Christine Carpenter

    “I joined Corvus Design as a contractor, helping shape their interpretive design and graphic deliverables for clients. I feel lucky to work with this team, each of them highly committed to keeping Alaska as a beautiful and majestic place, and I enjoy the opportunity to help them on their mission. My partner and I, too, are dedicated to this place; we have both feet solidly and happily planted in Juneau, a community we have chosen to call home. I first fell in love with Juneau on the trails in and around our home, finding an endless amount of artistic inspiration on my runs. While I also find inspiration traveling the world together with my partner, home will always be where the water meets the mountains in Southeast Alaska.”

  • Linda Pringle

    Linda has strong interest in recreational planning and the ecological side of landscape architecture and has a focus on intertwining the two to develop recreational spaces that are not hazardous to a function-ing ecosystem. Growing up in the interior of British Columbia, her background lies primarily in open pine, dry grassland forests common to the Okanagan climate. The small communities and harsher climates of interior British Columbia provided Linda with an immediate identification with Alaska. During her time in British Columbia Ms. Pringle’s work experience included parks and recreation, public green space, and development projects that included residential, mixed-use, and commercial spaces.

We are a product of the people we have worked with. We're proud to have had them work with us.
