Field Work is a landscape architecture practice founded by Julia Frederick in 2025, dedicated to a vision of harmony and renewal in our daily landscapes. In partnership with municipal, institutional, and private clients at a range of scales, Julia's work seeks to reconnect us to the natural world and to create nourishing, sustainable places for people and wildlife alike.

 

Design influences include the mentorship of Heather McCargo, founder of Wild Seed Project, study under renowned garden designer Piet Oudolf, and landscape architects Lauren and Stephen Stimson during Julia's time at STIMSON collective. At STIMSON, Julia was part of the design team for several national award-winning landscape projects, including the Florence Griswold Museum of American Impressionism, and Pulaski Park in Northampton Massachusetts.

 

Steeped in the natural and cultural heritages of New England, Julia's work is informed by observation of local ecosystems and experimentation on her own land. She holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a B.A. from Yale. Julia is a board member of Wild Seed Project, whose mission is to "equip community members with the resources they need to collectively restore native plants that expand wildlife habitat." She is a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects, the Boston Society of Landscape Architects, and the Ecological Landscape Alliance.
