Madeline Kirschner

Madeline Kirschner is a landscape designer at Waggoner & Ball, where she focuses on crafting nature-based solutions that celebrate the rich ecological and cultural landscapes of the Gulf South. As a student, she deepened her engagement with the profession through active involvement in the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), serving on the Board of Trustees, co-chairing the Climate Action Committee, and participating in Advocacy Days. These experiences reinforced her understanding of how large-scale planning efforts translate into tangible, site-specific design solutions.

Following graduation, Madeline spent two years at a landscape architecture firm in Boston, working on waterfront parks, affordable housing, and playgrounds throughout the Greater Boston area. In 2025, she joined Waggoner & Ball, bringing her passion for resilient, community-driven design to the team.
