Part 2 of my conversation with Kelley Oklesson, owner of Groundsmith Collective dives into growing as a business owner and designer and taking charge of mental health. She shares her struggles and how she supports emerging professionals and becomes the bridge for them to take their desires and ideas into reality and craft a career that will support them and the growing landscape design community. She strives to leave a positive mark on the profession through mentorship and harnessing her power of kindness and empathy.
