Sawyer graduated from Ball State University in 2024 with his Master of Urban Design and is a self-described geek for urban design and landscape architecture. Sawyer has taken an unconventional path to working in the built environment. After earning his
Bachelor of Public affairs with a focus on Civic and Non-profit Leadership from IUPUI in 2017, where he founded an annual recycling and biking event, he began working at IU Alumni Association. After a few years, Sawyer got the design itch. He spent the next 5
years learning and working in landscape, horticulture and landscape design resulting in being accepted to Illinois Institute of Technology for a Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA). Taking the opportunity to work for a design-build firm in Chicago, Sawyer put a pause on his pursuit of an MLA and got to work drafting. Sawyer is ecstatic at the opportunity to be back in the Circle City joining the Haverstick design team and learning more about acoustic architecture. Sawyer is endlessly curious and can usually be found outside in a garden, reading a book on maps and urban design or walking his Dalmatian in parks across the state.
