Fora is growing! We are pleased to announce that Pamela Force (Designer II), Fred Jala (Associate), Myles Harvey (Associate), and Kaia McKenney (2025 Summer Intern) have joined our team here at Fora.
Pamela Force – Having worked in both playground design and landscape architecture, Pamela brings a passion for creating inclusive, accessible spaces for all. Her strength in 3D modeling and graphics helps clients visualize and engage with designs in meaningful ways, making the process more collaborative and clear. Originally from Ohio by way of Texas, she enjoys spending her free time exploring plant shops, nurseries, and local parks.
Fred Jala – A seasoned landscape architect with 30 years of experience in the Pacific Northwest, Fred’s experience and leadership across a wide range of project scopes, from residential gardens to large campuses, is a great asset to Fora. His passion for his work is rooted in the dynamic interaction between urban and natural, balance and connection between people and ecosystems, as well as mentorship and fostering emerging professionals in their growth. Fred is also an enthusiastic cook and skilled water colorist.
Myles Harvey – Inspired by the rugged terrain of his home in Nevada combined with 20 years in the PNW, Myles seeks to create spaces that invite users to feel the resilience and inter-connectivity of the natural world. He has worked on a diverse set of project types, and strives for the finished design to feel collaborative and participatory. Myles is passionate about permaculture, sustainability and emerging technologies related to design and construction.
Kaia McKenney – Born and raised in the Midwest, Kaia is the summer 2025 intern at Fora. Kaia’s past research discusses the effects of urban redevelopment, displacement, and the intersection of landscape architecture in the downtown district of her hometown. She is passionate about the benefits of native planting design and how landscape management practices can serve as learning opportunities for people of all ages. In her personal time Kaia enjoys cooking and baking delicious meals for loved ones.
