Designers 5 & 6

Ryan Hargrove

Mr. Hargrove is a landscape architect professor at the University of Kentucky and has been teaching here for 7 years. His mother was an art teacher and inspired his architectural lifestyle. One of his favorite things about teaching is helping others reach their full potential. Before he taught, he spent sone time in North Carolina working directly in the field of landscape architecture. He spoke about a project he had done in Shawnee (West Louisville). His task was to find a way to take such an underprivileged area and get the community involved to make the area better. Ryan decided that a market area was the best idea for the community so he has been focused on building that! When asked what he thinks the next thing in design is going to be he immediately said that he thinks our generation is going to be asked questions and we will have to figure those answers out by using unique solutions. "We need to create people who are able to take creative action," said Hargrove. 

Sarah Daley
Sarah was a architecture student at the University of Kentucky and graduate last May. She just moved to Louisville from Chicago, where she worked in a museum. Her job was to decide what pieces of history got displayed in the museum and where they went. She loved this job and is hoping to make a career out of this one day! Sarah currently works with a nonprofit group as an interpretive designer, where she collects information about parks. She sees how many animals and plants are around the park, complies them together and decides how to present them. When asked what the future of design holds, Sarah believes technology and design will work together to create amazing things!
