HNP Welcomes Summer Interns

HNP is thrilled to welcome Catherine Carver and Barrett Harper to our internship program for the summer.  Both Catherine and Barrett are from Vestavia, Alabama, pursuing degrees in Landscape Architecture at Auburn University.

CATHERINE CARVER
Catherine was drawn to Landscape Architecture at a young age because it combined her love of plants and animals with her family’s background in the horticultural business.

In her time so far at HNP, she has enjoyed learning the technical side of the profession while sharpening her planting design skills. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, gardening, and birdwatching.

BARRETT HARPER
Barrett envisions himself creating spaces for people to enjoy and build memories. It was that vision that inspired him to pursue a degree in Landscape Architecture. He said, “I have always imagined going to a site that I helped create and seeing people engaging in the space.  Imagining what that would feel like inspires me to become the best designer I can be.”
 
In the last few weeks, he has learned new schematic design techniques and developed a strong sense on what daily life is like in the professional world. The importance of effective communication and the value of collaborating with others while seeking ways to improve are some principles he will carry with him. In his free time, Barrett enjoys watching football and playing golf.
