Principal
Studio-MLA
Los Angeles, CA
Dawn Dyer, PLA, ASLA, LEED AP, is a Principal at Studio‑MLA with over 20 years of experience. Trained first as an architect, she discovered the expansive creative and ecological potential of landscapes, ultimately shaping a career that bridges both disciplines. Her work reflects this progression—integrating architectural clarity with sensory‑rich, resilient landscape design. Dawn was integral to the Nature Gardens at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, transforming an asphalt lot into a living urban ecology, and contributed to the renovation of the historic John Anson Ford Theatres. Her practice centers on sustainable, adaptive, community‑connected public spaces.
