Cline

Say Hello to Lane Green, our Cline Creative and Senior Project Manager in our Austin Office.

Lane’s love of architecture was shaped early on by her grandparents’ home, designed by an O’Neil Ford protege, with its mass timber beams and floor-to-ceiling windows surrounding a central courtyard. Originally from San Antonio, Texas, she brings a deep connection to place and architectural character into her work.

We asked Lane a few questions about her journey and here is what she had to share.

Why did you choose the profession you are in?

I was really into music when I was in high school but also loved the straight forwardness of mathematics...when it came time to pick a major, Architecture seemed like the perfect marriage of art and science.

What inspires your work/what you do?

I love working with people- all personalities and points of view. I see my job as filtering through many people's perspectives and coming up with the very best possible solution to a design or decision-making problem.

What are your words of wisdom for someone stepping into this industry?

Your first job will influence the path of your career WAY more than what you learn in school- so I recommend really researching the firms and industries that you're interested in while applying for jobs. Of course, sometimes landing that first job is a feat in itself, so keep an open mind and enjoy the ride...your career path may take you places you never considered!

Landscapes are never blank slates.

They hold memory, culture, ecology, movement, and community meaning. After attending the 2026 SERC Conference, Josh Karrick and Madison Megrath share reflections on listening before shaping, designing with care, and creating places built for long-term public value.
