Srivani Manchala
Senior Landscape Architect
Landscape architecture has an innate ability to connect people to place, to nature, and to each other. For me, it’s not just about designing spaces, but about honouring the stories that already live within the land. I’m passionate about placing Indigenous connection and knowledge at the forefront of design, i.e., listening, learning, and creating with deep respect for Country. Every project is an opportunity to celebrate culture, restore balance, and design with safety, care and purpose. Seeing people experience a space that feels both grounded and alive, that’s the part of the work that truly inspires me.
