  • EXEC. VICE PRESIDENT/PARTNER, MLA

    As an N.C. registered Landscape Architect, Ash was raised and educated in India. She has a strong work ethic, an education in architecture, strong talents with interior design, and an appreciation for detail and selection of materials. Beyond her strong skills with everything IT (CAD, 3D modeling, financial software, etc.), Ash has a passion for the creative arts. This is evident with her successes/abilities on the ballroom dancing floor and in the culinary arts and baking arenas. But aside of her talents, her finest trait might just be her innate ability to connect to people, to forge friendships and relationships that last a lifetime.
