Who we are
Sonya Gimon
Founder
3FWILD is led by Sonya Gimon, a landscape architect and systems thinker who draws her inspiration from collective community knowledge and ecological grounding. Her work spans long-term urban infrastructure projects and pop-up community spaces, and everything in between.
With experience as a landscape architect at MNLA, a NYFA/NYSCA Design Fellow, and an educator at both Pratt Institute in New York and Montana State in Bozeman, Sonya brings a deep insight into both urban and rural environments.
Nell Heidinger
Landscape Designer
Nell Heidinger is a Landscape Designer at 3FWILD. Based in Brooklyn, her work is shaped by both urban life in New York and her rural roots in Western Massachusetts. This contrast informs her approach to landscape architecture and planting design, and drew her to 3FWILD, where she works across urban and rural settings.
She holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from Pratt Institute and a BFA from The School of Constructed Environments at Parsons. Before graduate school, she spent several years in Greater New York as a design-build project and construction manager.
3FWILD unites teams and stakeholders—whether city agencies, nonprofits, scientists or residents —broadening the design process beyond the traditional team.
