Elise Campbell is a landscape architect and has been a Chartered Member of the Landscape Institute for twenty years. Elise has worked across the UK in several landscape architecture practices and environmental consultancies and has over ten years’ experience teaching on the undergraduate and postgraduate Landscape Architecture programmes at Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Edinburgh.

Elise has worked on a diverse range of projects in professional practice, from large-scale master plans to small-scale green roof designs. Having experience on a variety of landscape architecture and environmental schemes has allowed Elise to be able to teach and lecture on an array of technical and design courses. Elise has been involved with many studios situated locally, nationally, and globally, including urban regeneration, park design, detailed design, landscape construction, landscape reclamation, regional planning, territorial-scale design, and urban spatial studies.

Having a ‘soft spot’ for tiny entities, Elise joined the Edinburgh Entomological Club to learn about invertebrates and their associated habitats. In another life Elise might have been an entomologist or an ecologist. Since childhood she has frequently been found in the wilderness with her cameras taking photographs of all sorts of intriguing creatures and ecosystems or poking around burns and rock pools. She continues her enthusiasm for micro-scale underworlds in the studio and enjoys weaving multi-species stories into student projects.
