Corporate Communications | Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson Season 1 Episode 38

In our latest episode of the Meet JMT podcast, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Jon Conner, PLA, LEED AP — Landscape Architect and Discipline Lead for our Landscape Architecture group — as part of our ongoing celebration of World Landscape Architecture Month.

Jon shares his journey into Landscape Architecture, beginning with a foundation in architecture and ultimately shifting focus due to a deep passion for designing outdoor spaces and understanding the intricate relationship between people and their environment.

He reflects on impactful projects like the Green Tracks pilot project for the MTA in Baltimore and the City of Rehoboth Beach Streetscape project, both of which highlight the value of thoughtful, sustainable design in public spaces.

Jon also dives into how his personal hobbies — including golf and spending time outdoors — have shaped his professional lens, deepening his appreciation for landforms, user experience, and the power of place.

Tune in to hear more about Jon's insights and inspirations!
