Anne Trumble

Anne is the Founder and President of Emerging Terrain. Trumble attributes a life-long interest in landscape, land use, and the embedded human narrative while growing up on the family’s homesteaded farm south of Omaha. Watching the city change and grow around a multi-generational legacy of land stewardship has provided Anne a unique perspective to and guidance in her life’s work. Prior to founding Emerging Terrain, Anne studied and practiced many aspects of landscape architecture nationally and abroad. Most recently she was responsible for the design and management of West 125th Streetscape in Harlem with the NYC Economic Development Corporation, in addition to other streetscapes, greenroofs, parks, and plazas throughout New York City. Anne discovered she most enjoys the management of diverse teams – stakeholders, contractors, city agencies, other designers, and community groups – towards a common built goal. Trumble earned a Masters of Landscape Architecture from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, but considers her first move away from the farm to earn a degree in Horticulture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln the ‘groundwork’ for what has since transpired. Since returning to Omaha in 2010, Anne serves on the board of directors for Design Alliance Omaha, teaches city-scale design courses combining architects and landscape architects at UNL, and consults on numerous community projects.
