He/Him/His

Sean brings 15 years of civil and environmental engineering experience, with a focus on municipal infrastructure. His work includes integrating stormwater management into community parks and public spaces, water and wastewater treatment, stormwater modelling, infiltration design, and municipal servicing. He also has extensive experience leading projects through design and construction, including parks, recreation areas, and process engineering projects.

Sean works closely with landscape architects to bring innovative public spaces to life. He focuses on integrating infrastructure into the public realm in a way that supports the overall design vision while remaining practical to operate and maintain.

Sean is also an innovative thinker in environmental engineering. He developed a patented process for maintaining engineered treatment wetlands which has since been adopted across Canada and Europe. He brings this same practical and inventive approach to integrating TULA’s public realm designs with complex urban infrastructure.

Alisha Gorda, BLA BEnvD

Senior Landscape Architect
AALA, CSLA
She/Her/Hers

Alisha’s design approach centers on reconnecting people with nature in the fabric of everyday urban life. She envisions landscapes as restorative frameworks—integrated systems that support both ecological function and human well-being.

Her process blends natural systems with the built environment to foster spaces that are both functional and healing. Grounded in principles of sustainability, she incorporates native planting, low-impact development (LID) strategies, and ecologically sensitive design to create environments that are engaging, resilient, and enduring.

Guided by a strong sense of ecological responsibility, Alisha’s work is deeply informed by local context, climate, and culture—resulting in landscapes that feel authentic, adaptive, and rooted in place.
