Hi I’m Maram Moushmoush.

I’m a landscape designer and artist. My academic journey includes a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design from University of Charleston and a Master’s of Science in Sustainable Design from Jefferson University. Early in my studies, I developed a keen interest in the symbiotic relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces, which propelled me towards a holistic design approach. This passion led me to pursue a Master of Landscape Architecture from West Virginia University. At the forefront of my design sensibilities are site history and context, iterative hand drawing, artistic representation, detail oriented design, and biodiverse plant palettes.

Outside academia, I dedicated my free time volunteering with BioPhilly, contributing to the Farmer’s market, participating in the Master Gardener program in Kanawha county, and freelancing on several projects in urban and landscape design. My professional experiences have given me a well-rounded approach to landscape architecture by working on projects ranging from leisurely well-planted gardens at Miranda Brooks Landscape Design, biophilic urban plans receiving mentorship from Helena Van Vliet, and agroecology for a farm plan by working with Chad Adams. 

My identity is deeply rooted in my family’s ancestral land which cultivated moushmoush (Arabic term for apricots) in Syria. Growing up between West Virginia and Syria, it nurtured my appreciation for temperate climate and Mediterranean vegetation, the Appalachian mountains, and the fruit trees of my grandparents' summerhouse.
