Student Profile
Elyse Mack
MFA Design, UC Davis
B.A., Fine Art, School of the Art Institute, Chicago
Elyse is an interdisciplinary designer whose work reimagines the land use of decommissioned golf courses in the Western United States. Joining experiences in sustainable fabrication, environmental and social justice and ecology, Elyse creates a speculative tool kit for converting the former courses into public spaces. Through this work she inserts methods for restorative landscapes, reintroduction of native plants and wildlife habitats and facilitating community stewardship to improve recreational access to underserved populations.
