Nat Gregorius

Lecturer

Nat is an interdisciplinary designer, gardener, and maker who explores what it means to be in reflexive relationship with living and nonliving materials from the individual to community scale. As a landscape designer, they are interested in how verbal and visual communications regarding the material world shapes our understanding and stewardship towards it. Through processes of experiential making and land maintenance, Nat seeks ways we can be in time with living and nonliving material, ultimately offering agency to their stories and landscapes.

As an educator, Nat values place-based learning where students are encouraged to slow down, observe, and experience the landscape as an evolving system of relationships. They are interested in experiential and research based design studio pedagogies that engage students in generative thinking, questioning, and making.

Nat holds a BA in Environmental Biology and Art from Whitman College and a Masters of Landscape Architecture from University of Washington. They are working towards a Certificate in Landscape Horticulture from South Seattle College as well as becoming a Master Pruner through PlantAmnesty.
