Morgen Ruby has recently joined our San Diego office as a Senior Planner, focusing on active transportation projects. She brings to KTUA both planning and design experience across active transportation, landscape planning and design, and placemaking projects from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. Morgen feels that increasing transportation options both has a positive climate-impact by reducing the amount of on-road emissions, and increasing equitable access to healthy food, high-paying jobs, and education opportunities. She has extensive community engagement experience, developing innovative, education-based tools to fulfill project missions. She also enjoys data visualization, such as maps and infographics, to help make complex information digestible to residents of all ages and abilities. Joe Punsalan, Principal, says “We’re super excited to have Morgen joining our team. She brings project management experience, technical skills, and creativity that will greatly benefit our projects, clients, and our company culture. Her passion for active transportation, placemaking, and design will strengthen KTUA’s holistic approach to planning and design. We are looking forward to seeing her grow and excel.” Morgen holds a master’s degree in landscape architecture from Cal Poly Pomona, and her software capabilities include: Adobe Creative Suite, ArcGIS, Rhino 3D, and AutoCAD.
