Lewis' promotion recognizes success with complex community-oriented design projects, including award-winning projects like the Snoqualmie Tribe Harvest Kitchen, College Place Campus and Evergreen Transition Sensory Garden. Lewis has also lead the development of Fora's internal carbon calculator and established goals for the firm's climate action work.

He has successfully guided design and construction processes for large public athletic field complex projects, parks, and a range of educational K-12 school campus projects.

Shoji-Jeevanjee brings wide-ranging experience in mixed-use residential, parks and school design across Southern California. She has expertise in visual communication and hand graphics, creative design thinking, thoughtful team coordination, project management and client communication skills.

Chan brings a background in journalism and graphic design to the landscape architecture field, using those skills to weave storytelling and visual communication through her work. She has over 12 years of experience in a diverse range of urban projects including mixed-use communities, multi-family residential, open space/transit projects and commercial office developments.
