Do you participate in any civic activities?
This past year I’ve started to attend public outreach meetings and hearings to better participate in my
community, such as the Third Street Corridor Rehabilitation Project and General Plan meetings that
occurred this past fall. As someone that spends the weekends enjoying all the outdoor amenities available
here in Marin, I make an effort to participate in events like the recent coastal clean-up at the Jean & John
Starkweather Shoreline park with my wife and dog.
List any civic organizations of which you are a member:
In past years I have focused on organizations in San Francisco, such as SPUR (San Francisco Bay Area
Planning and Urban Research Association), as well as the AIA, San Francisco Chapter. I have also
participated in events and collaborations with SF Made, a non-profit organization focused on the local
design and urban manufacturing industry … it all starts with the little guys. I see the opportunity to
participate on the Design Review Board as a way to merge my professional and civil interests locally. I’m
excited to be an engaged member of the community.
Education:
Bachelor of Architecture, California Polytechnic University of California, San Luis Obispo; Registered
Architect in California, 2012. C33973; LEED Accredited Professional, 2009
Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
I recently attended community out-reach meetings on the General Plan 2040 Community Workshop and
the Third Street Corridor Rehabilitation Project, which have inspired me to take a more active role in my
community. Serving on the DRB would allow me to utilize my professional skillset, to contribute to the San
Rafael community in a meaningful way. As a licensed Architect with over a decade of experience, I bring
knowledge and expertise in a wide range of project types, large and small. Navigating complex projects
through entitlements and permit with different agencies throughout the Bay Area, I have a solid
understanding of the planning process and planning codes, necessary to evaluate how a project’s bulk,
massing, and siting may apply to a project’s zoning, neighborhood context and the city’s General Plan. I
care about how our community is shaped. Born and raised in Fairfax, I am a Marin County native, with a
deep passion and understanding of this area. Starting my career in architecture here in San Rafael, I
moved back as a home owner in the Gerstle Park neighborhood 3 years ago with my wife and dog. While
reviewing the resources on the City website, I came a across the DRB vacancy on the city’s website
which was just the thing I was looking for to get involved. I am excited about an opportunity to represent
the community, providing recommendations for our city leaders.
Describe possible areas in which you may have a conflict of interest with the City:
I cannot think of any potential conflicts, as it has been several years since I last worked on a project in the
city of San Rafael. However, If I were to work on a project in the city’s jurisdiction which required to go
through the Design Review Process, I would have to excuse myself for an alternate board member.

Why are you interested in serving on a board or commission?
I am a passionate champion of the built environment and an advocate for healthy, resilient communities
both professionally and personally. As a member of the community and a business owner in downtown
San Rafael, serving on the board would provide me the opportunity to offer guidance to those seeking to
shape the development direction for the City of San Rafael and its inhabitants. As a landscape architect I
have observed that we often overlook the design outside the building box. I look forward to the
opportunity in assisting the Design Review Board in finding the best solutions for the entire proposed
design submittal.
Describe possible areas in which you may have a conflict of interest with the City:
At the present time I have no conflict as a landscape architect with any project within the city limits of San
Rafael. All my interests in San Rafael have been on a volunteer basis as a community servant. If anything
was to ever come before the board that may cause conflict, I would simply recuse myself.

APRIL PHILIPS DESIGN WORKS
Principal & CEO April Philips Design Works, Landscape Architect, Author, Artist
Professional Background
April Philips is a designer and landscape architect with more than 30 years of experience
who brings exceptional skills in physical design and site planning to a broad range of
projects throughout the United States and Pacific Rim. Her extensive background includes
design coordination with multidisciplinary design teams for both public and private sector
clients, working to integrate the clients’ needs and the sites’ unique characteristics into
creative and successful built environments. Also, as an artist she is dedicated to creating
environments that are artful, appropriate to the site and program, and ecologically sound.
April’s passion is for the integration of sustainable practices at all scales of development:
local, regional, and global. Project sustainable ratings achieved include LEED, Green Point
Rated, Bay Friendly and SITES. April has most recently been inducted as a Climate Reality
Leader in Al Gore’s Climate Reality Leadership Corps.
She is the author of Designing Urban Agriculture: The Complete Guide to the
Planning, Design, Construction, Maintenance and Management of Edible
Landscapes published by Wiley Books in June 2013. April’s design work focuses on a
fusion of nature, art, and technology with deep roots in sustainability and a regenerative
landscape ideology. Her recent studio work investigates the intersection of food, design
and ecology in urban landscapes. April cultivates a year round edible garden and is a
passionate local food system advocate.
Sustainable Landscape Expertise + Integrated Ecological Design + Urban
Agriculture
April Philips, APDW’s founder, has been a leader and advocate for the development of
sustainable landscapes over the past decade. As a founder of the Sustainable Design
and Development PPN, April has been instrumental through her work with the American
Society of Landscape Architects, (ASLA) in the development of the Sustainable Sites
Initiative (SITES), a new rating system that will eventually fold into LEED. The metrics
aim to enable landscapes to support natural ecological functions by protecting existing
ecological systems and regenerating ecological capacity where it has been lost. Through a
sustainable lens, one that balances ecology, social issues, and economic viability, elements
will be addressed such as: storm water management and water quality, soil health and
biology, carbon neutral design, celebration of nature as relaxation and transformation of the
human spirit, and development of best management practices that revitalize the degraded
environment. She has won numerous professional awards throughout her career. April is
a juror and guest lecturer at U.C. Berkeley and has been an Instructor in the Landscape
Architecture Program at U.C. Berkeley Extension for Graphics and Illustration. She is a
licensed Landscape Architect in the states of California and Texas. Currently April lectures
nationally to promote the Sustainable Sites Initiative and urban agriculture.
Role & Responsibilities
As Principal In Charge, April provides the leadership for all the firm’s projects, working
closely with her staff and clients. She is responsible for ensuring that the creativity, the
product and the management of the projects are completed with high standards and quality.
April is committed to every project in a direct, hands-on manner. With her expertise, she
is able to provide the benefits of a larger firm with the close involvement, accessibility and
flexibility of a small firm. She is also able to produce innovative products in intensive time
frame commitments due to the holistic training of her staff. Because of her passion for
sustainable design and her artistic vision, she is instrumental in developing the complex
matrix of systems that forms the basic underlying framework for all of the firm’s work.
