Welcome Two Project Designers to our Team

Welcome Two Project Designers to our Team

We are happy to introduce our newest Project Designers, Lea Reino and Theresa Ferrigno.

 

Lea started at Appel Osborne as an intern in April 2025 as she was finishing her fourth year at SUNY ESF. That summer, she did her international studies in China and returned to intern in the fall. She joined our team full time upon graduation in May 2026 and is working in our Buffalo office. Lea brings dedication, enthusiasm, and a valuable skill set to our team, and we are excited to have her on board!

 

 

 

 

 

Theresa is an alumna of SUNY ESF with a bachelor's degree in Landscape Architecture. After college, she spent a brief period of time as an orchardist before becoming a municipal planner for two years. Looking for an opportunity to expand and advance her skills as a landscape architect, she joined our team in December working out of our Troy office. Theresa is a strong asset to our firm's design and project support, and we are glad to have her talent and energy on our team!
