About Meg Rushing Coffee
Meg is a California licensed landscape architect with 20+ years of experience.
Her landscape designs tend to be well-thought out and organized; focusing on the site and client needs while balancing practicality with beauty. Although her strength is in site & hardscape design (outdoor rooms, dining terraces, entertaining areas, pools/spas, etc.) Meg also enjoys designing with plants. Some of her favorite plants are California natives and she incorporates them into her designs to create drought-tolerant, contemporary gardens.
Before starting her own practice in 2013, Meg was a landscape architect with Pamela Burton & Company, OLIN, Marmol Radziner & Associates, and The Office of James Burnett. She was fortunate to work on many published and award-winning projects.
In addition to her design work, Meg is an instructor for the Landscape Architecture Program at UCLA Extension, two-time past-President of the Association for Women in Architecture and Design (AWA+D), and Chair of the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches & Harbors Marina Del Rey Design Control Board.
