Hardy grew up on Martha’s Vineyard and is excited to explore how landscape architecture draws on his past experiences in design and sustainable agriculture.

Hardy earned a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture and a certificate in Food, Agriculture, and Climate Change from Yale University, where he managed fermentation projects for Yale’s small urban farm. Before joining MVVA, Hardy interned at BLDUS, an architecture practice in Washington D.C., and worked as a line cook at a farm-to-table restaurant.
