Portrait of Lotte Dijkstra, posing in front of one of waterfalls at Glenariff Forest, Northern Ireland

the places that profoundly shaped me are manifold, everywhere, everywhen.

Exploring new places and sharing their stories is at the heart of everything I do.

  • As a landscape architect and communication professional, understanding interactions between different people and their environments is key. I uniquely combine an interdisciplinary mindset with a wide range of quantitative and qualitative research skills, effective communication expertise, and a desire to explore new perspectives. This combination allows me to be inquisitive, collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders, and to process information in a nuanced and creative way.
