If not sitting in front of a computer, you can find Wendy laughing with her husband, Jeff, playing with her young daughters, Zoe and Eva Jayne, or reading a book. She likes to pretend that she has time to decorate their home, garden, and walk the dog.

Cally is a new member of our staff, and assists with the construction of our designs. She is a recent graduate of Amherst College, where she majored in English and fine arts, concentrating in oil painting and metal sculpture. Cally grew up splitting her time between Gloucester, Massachusetts and her family's farm in southern Vermont. Her artistic background coupled with her experience working outdoors, helped develop an interest in landscape architecture which she is exploring now, here at Terrigenous. She looks forward to learning more about the field as she contributes to our projects.

In her free time, Cally is a Jane Austen fanatic, who enjoys anything that takes her outdoors, including skiing, sailing, motorcycling and riding.
