FOLLY is a landscape architecture studio with a focus on custom residential design. Founded and cultivated in California, FOLLY’s style is unrestricted and free from expectation. The site, environment, and architecture work together to guide form and space. FOLLY strives to deepen our connection to nature, to create designs full of promise and hope for the future.

With over fifteen years in the industry, Rachel has experience working on various project types and scales – from tactical urban installations to plazas, public parks and private gardens. Raised in Oakland, California, she received formal training in landscape architecture from the University of California, Berkeley. After a few years in New York City working as a construction manager for the NYC Parks Department, Rachel returned to the Bay Area, where she worked in single and multi-family residential design, hospitality, civic, commercial, and public work. She started FOLLY in 2021.
