Dana Kingery — Designer

Meet Dana Kingery, the latest addition to our team.

Dana is a designer and illustrator with a love for learning. Her artful nature is complemented by a research-oriented practice that considers unexpected connections between otherwise unrelated things. In doing so, she is able to craft unique narratives that reflect shared human experiences.

Before joining Landscape, Dana’s career led her across the country. She began in Denver alongside the team at Studio Mast, where she collaborated with Mackey Saturday to shape visual identities for local and global brands. Next, she found a home in Nashville with Perky Bros. There, she guided projects through a holistic creative process and discovered a talent for meticulously drawn maps. She has since worked with a variety of clients, including Patagonia, El Paso Opera, Klarna, FutureNow, Andrew Zimmern, and Forgotten Boardwalk.

Dana grew up on a farm in Minnesota and quickly fell in love with the outdoors. Lately, her favorite way to experience the world around her is by way of her bike. At home, she can often be found trying new recipes, watching movies, and experimenting with her iPad—all in the company of her cat, June.

A discussion with Micaela Connery, Co-Founder of The Kelsey, a non-profit that centers on the lived experience of people with disabilities and the creation of inclusive and affordable multifamily housing.

Garnering the attention and support of organizations like Google and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, The Kelsey is currently advancing a housing pipeline worth over $180 million—beginning with more than 240 affordable, accessible homes in one of the nation’s most challenging housing markets, California.

Inspired by her cousin and Co-Founder Kelsey, Micaela started The Kelsey to bring a disability-forward mindset to everyday practices of housing design, in development and operations. In partnership with community leaders, investors, developers, and policymakers, the team has created a nationally scalable blueprint for success.

COVID-19 is something we’ll be talking about for years to come. We’ll forever remember the times and places that we spent in the world before COVID drastically took the world by storm. We’ll pass our quarantine stories down to our children and our children’s children. It is and was a time of solitude, but also a time where so many great moments of togetherness, innovation, and creativity had the chance to shine through and take center stage.

Established by Fred Turner, Isaac Turner, and Vlad Slepnev in January 2020, Curative was first designed to develop a new sepsis test. However, when the pandemic intensified in March 2020, the team decided to produce a quickly scalable COVID-19 testing process to help flatten the curve and save lives.

Since implementing the scalable COVID-19 testing process, Curative has been working with communities across the United States to fulfill testing through turn-key programs, streamlined patient experiences, and scalable infrastructure to make health services simpler to access for everyone.
