Principal

Lesley Conroy is a licensed landscape architect and certified arborist. After nine years of working in the DC area on local and international projects, she founded Conroy Landscape Architecture in 2021.

Lesley is experienced at designing and managing projects of a diverse range of scales and types, including government agency campuses overseas, commercial roof terraces and green roofs, public parks, university master plans, urban open space planning, and residential gardens. She was most recently a senior associate at Gustafson Guthrie Nichol’s DC office and has worked previously on design teams at Moody Graham, Michael Vergason Landscape Architects, and Landscape Architecture Bureau.

While she has been curious about the built and natural environment her whole life, it wasn’t until she took a course as an undergraduate at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry that she became aware of landscape architecture.

Lesley went on to earn her Master of Landscape Architecture degree from Virginia Tech’s Washington Alexandria Architecture Center, and uses her background in design, journalism, and science to inform her work. She strives to find collaborative approaches to design problems and loves working in complex urban environments.
