About

Travis Kelley

I am a botanical designer and graduate student at the Rhode Island School of Design, where I am pursuing a Masters in Landscape Architecture. Recent research interests include cultural landscapes and landscape preservation, legacy dams, riverine and stormwater ecologies, and spatial dynamics of New England town centers relative to their waterways. I am also servicing select clients in the Boston/Providence/Worcester area for garden design and maintenance needs.

My spatial design skills were honed over years working in the fine horticulture industry, first as a florist, then in various garden management roles. Areas of expertise include perennial gardens and matrix plantings, urban and roof deck garden design, seasonal container installations, floral arrangements and installations, estate garden maintenance and enhancements, customized holiday installations, and landscape site plans.

Other particular professional interests include naturalistic gardening, native plants, ecological systems, historic preservation, landscape architectural research, and sustainable floristry. Otherwise, you’re likely to find me out kayaking, biking, writing, exploring, or hiking. My lifelong appreciation for storytelling, from theater to media and the written word, led me to pursue a BA in Writing for Film and TV from Emerson College. I am currently working on a historical fantasy series set in 14th century Europe.
