Courtney Goode, RLA, ASLA | Founding Principal
Courtney Goode, RLA, ASLA is the Founding Principal of Goode Landscape Studio and has a hybrid background in landscape architecture, visual media, and industrial design. She finds inspiration in cultural narratives, ecological systems, visual storytelling, and the material language of landscapes. She believes in the power of landscapes to bring people together in creating healthy, diverse, and sustainable communities. Her love of the outdoors comes from her upbringing in the rugged terrain of north and central Texas. Her love of community has emerged over the past decade of living in more dense, diverse, and vibrant neighborhoods across New England.
She is a Registered Landscape Architect in RI, MA, and ME. Before starting her practice, she worked for top-tier architecture and design firms in Boston, Austin, Melbourne, Sydney, and Brussels. She serves on the faculty at the Rhode Island School of Design, and her work is published and exhibited widely. She has presented multiple times at the national ASLA conference and served as a guest lecturer at Harvard GSD, Northeastern University, MICA, the BAC, and Virginia Tech. She holds an MLA I from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, and a BFA in Design from the University of Texas.
