Eric Kramer's projects prove that meaningful work happens when ideas, words, and expressive details align. Through two decades of building consequential landscapes across the United States, he has established a design process that blends clear communication and active engagement with diverse voices. As a partner and studio co-head at Reed Hilderbrand, Eric is also a leader and mentor, inspiring teams to apply the same passion, inquisitiveness, and ethical stances that he does. His ideas-driven approach is well suited to ensuring coherence across large teams and increasingly complex projects. Among his significant and award-wining projects are: Central Wharf Plaza, Boston; The Clark Art Institute, Williamstown, MA; Duke Student Life Precinct, Durham, NC; The Alamo, San Antonio; and Pier 4, Boston. Eric served as editor for Reed Hilderbrand's 2012 monograph, Visible Invisible: Landscape Works of Reed Hilderbrand, which received ASLA's Award of Excellence for Communication. He is a former member of the ASLA Annual Meeting Educational Advisory Committee and the LAM Editorial Advisory Committee and a frequent speaker at national conferences. His influence on places of cultural importance, as well as next generations of landscape architects, is grounded in an unbending commitment to social equity and a rare ability to respond to clients' wishes while also successfully advocating for innovative design solutions.
