Tiffany Beamer's artistry emerges through her landscape designs combined with her mastery of distilling inspiration through art and music. She excels at the integration of rhythmic patterns and colorways, within the juxtaposition of hardscape and purposefully selected plant materials, to create emotional experiences that are woven into their context. Collaboration is at the heart of Tiffany's approach, allowing her teams to thrive under her guidance to create meaningful and award-winning projects. A Partner and Chief Operating Officer at OLIN, Tiffany has a gift for conceptualizing a project's potential, able to create concepts quickly and effectively with a beautiful mastery of hand drawing. In downtown Portland, Oregon, Tiffany transformed a .7-acre parking lot into Simon and Helen Director Park, which sits atop a six-story parking garage. She created a variety of public spaces with a range of microclimates, amenities, and activities, in the context of the tight tolerances for planting and paving depths. A larger renovation project at historic Carnegie Hall provided the opportunity to create a rooftop garden and event space. Weill Terrace is a secluded outdoor oasis with fine details such as an elegant ipe deck frame that wraps the terrace and skylights that are artfully incorporated into a musical-staff-inspired paving pattern. At the 42-acre Google Bay View campus, Tiffany led a large team to design and detail this large project, manage multiple workstreams and consultants, and craft a landscape that upholds the highest standards for sustainability-both for people and natural systems. What started as a disturbed brownfield site has become a breathtaking social space for Google employees, a massive stormwater capture, treatment, and reuse system, and a thriving habitat for local fauna.
