Studio-MLA, by Design: Broadened Ownership. Expanded Leadership.

We are excited to share an important evolution in our studio's future. Ownership of Studio-MLA has broadened to include longstanding team members whose leadership has shaped the work our clients and collaborators know today, reinforcing the stability of the practice as we approach 30 years.

"One of the greatest rewards of building a practice is seeing people grow into leaders in ways you never could have imagined," said Founder and President Mia Lehrer. "This moment reflects a spirit of creativity, ingenuity, and dedication that has defined Studio-MLA over many years. It is Advocacy by Design."

Principals Dawn Dyer, Jan Dyer, Ben Feldmann, Megan Horn, Holly Kuwayama, and Kush Parekh lead the practice alongside Mia, who remains deeply engaged in client relationships, strategic pursuits, and key projects.

This year, that work includes the recovery of Eaton Canyon Natural Area following the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, SoFi Stadium hosting FIFA World Cup matches, the gardens at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art opening at Exposition Park in September, among other major projects.

The opening of the Landscape Recovery Center marks a shift from emergency response to long-term stewardship. After the 2025 fire burned more than 14,000 acres across the San Gabriel foothills, recovery involves not just replanting, but rebuilding systems, restoring habitat, and supporting community healing,

Thank you to County of Los Angeles Department of Parks & Recreation and Supervisor Kathryn Barger for your leadership and vision. To Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District, for making this first phase possible through the RESTORE Grant. To Rivers & Mountains Conservancy, for backing the next phase and expanding this critical infrastructure. And to Assemblymember John Harabedian, for investing in the future Nature Center.

And to the broader team of collaborators advancing this work on the ground: Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers & Native Plants for your expertise and seed stewardship, Altadena Seed Library for helping build long-term resilience, San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians Gabrieleno/Tongva for your ecological wisdom, Eaton Canyon Nature Center Associates (ENCA) for your deep commitment to the canyon, Sparano + Mooney Architecture for design partnership, and SWCA Environmental Consultants for scientific rigor and technical leadership.

This is what it looks like to design for uncertainty, disturbance, and long-term resilience in Southern California.
