This award recognizes women who have made a significant contribution to design excellence and the advancement of women in the fields of architecture and design.

She is the founding principal of Mikyoung Kim Designs, a Boston-based studio whose portfolio of restorative landscapes seeks to improve public health by drawing individuals and communities outdoors to engage with and learn about the wonder of the natural world. Her work integrates the latest neurodivergent science in the design of our shared landscapes, connecting human health with environmental stewardship.
