Joy Kuebler, FASLA
Founder
PLAYCE

Joy Kuebler, FASLA, is an award-winning professional with more than 20 years’ experience with her work being recognized locally and nationally. Across her career, she has focused her work on the human experience in the landscape, integrating the outdoors and architecture to create unique and inspiring environments. She formed Joy Kuebler Landscape Architect, PC in 2003 to have a positive impact on the quality of life for people through sensitive and responsible designs. Joy has insightfully adapted her firm’s practice to foster the community’s participation and understanding of their site, and their community, through a methodology she calls PLAYCE.

In 2020, she launched PLAYCE Studio, to train the community of landscape architects, designers and planners, in these meaningful engagement techniques. Joy has shared this methodology with students across several universities and presently teaches a class at SUNY Buffalo for graduate planning students.
