Anjelica Sifuentes is a landscape designer at Design Workshop. Originally from San Antonio, Texas, she grew up surrounded by the rich culture of her Mexican ancestors, sparking her interest in the relationship designers have with the past. Her experience in Texas, California and Louisiana has given her a new perspective on how human interactions directly influence the unique social, cultural, and ecological aspects of an environment. Anjelica believes that landscape architects have the ability to influence the world in a way that benefits each specific region by bridging the gap between history and innovative design. Her hopes are to continue to be an advocate for the profession through the promotion of cultural remediation and activism in landscape architecture. Anjelica was honored as a University Olmsted Scholar and was the EDSA Minority Scholarship for her research and scholastic achievements. She is part of the 2018 graduating class of the Robert Reich School and landscape architecture at Louisiana State University where she won multiple awards for her research of the urbanization trends of cities along the U.S.-Mexico border. In her approach to complete her final Capstone project titled "Redefining Our Borderlands", she used spatial programming to investigate design concepts for alternative measures of border security between Mexico and the United States.
