Marisa Gora didn’t start in the landscape industry. But she couldn’t see herself anywhere else…
NAME
Marisa Gora
PRONOUNS
She/Her/Hers
DEPARTMENT
Owner + Landscape Designer
EDUCATION
University of Chicago – BS, Psychology
CREATIVE PASSION
Drawing—primarily portraits in pencil, but I have acquired a liking for colored pencil over the years.
WHY THIS PASSION SPEAKS TO ME
Drawing was the main reason I started to explore the field of landscape design. The potential to spend my day drawing and creating spaces combined with being outside helping people couldn’t have been a more perfect fit for me.
FUN FACT
I’m a secret nerd! In high school I qualified for the JETS (Junior Engineering Technical Society).
Kemora Landscapes is a full-service design, build, and maintenance company based in Chicago.
