Robb Berg is one of those rare landscape architects who possesses exceptional design skills and significant management abilities. At a young age, Robb became president of one of the nation's largest and most respected landscape architecture firms, a recognition of his leadership and management potential, hard work, determination, and dedication to the profession. Driven by the belief that complex problems are best solved by the collective ideas of a diverse interdisciplinary team, Robb has leveraged his role to take swift and persistent actions to elevate diversity, equity, and inclusion within the workplace and larger profession. As a highly sought-after guest lecturer for university landscape architecture programs, Robb delights in helping students discover their passions and skill sets and finding a good fit based on their interests. With a steady hand and an active mind, he has led ASLA at local and national levels, including serving as chapter president and trustee, and is now presiding over the transition of his firm from shareholder ownership to an employee-owned organization. Furthermore, his leadership style is evident in the projects he undertakes as he engages his team in rigorous design processes that combine environmental sensibility, social sensitivity, economic viability, and artful curation with intellectual curiosity and integrity. Robb's professional portfolio, built in over two decades of practice, includes large-scale master plans, complex urban infill developments, and highly detailed site designs and he is frequently project leader for some of the firm's most complex projects.
