LAUREN PUCCIARELLI
DESIGN DIRECTOR
Growing up in New York City, Lauren had always longed for the natural and urban environments to merge. Developing a love of design and nature at a young age, she wondered how the two worlds could merge in an urban context.
After graduating Pratt Institute with an Architectural Degree, Lauren took a Horticulture internship at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to gain hands on knowledge of planting practices. Blending the two educational backgrounds, Lauren moved on to Gunn Landscape Architecture where she had worked as a Senior Landscape Designer.
With over 15 years of professional experience in landscape design, Lauren has joined the Trillium team as the Director of Horticulture and as a Landscape Designer. Lauren strives to create textured, layered gardens that are sensitive to its surroundings and blend seamlessly into the urban fabric of New York City.
