Carol A.
Krawczyk is an award-winning writer and editor. Her strong
ordinance and writing background provides detailed
research-based ordinances and articles. She received the
“Outstanding Public Official Award,” from the Georgia Urban
Forestry Commission in 1996 for her work on the Savannah Tree
Ordinance.
Currently,
she accesses professional and academic journals to provide
up-to-date data to substantiate information. Further, she is
able to document post-occupancy evaluations and designs for
publication in professional and academic press to include your
design in the much-needed foundation of research.
Krawczyk is
also a successful grant writer, helping non-profits and
neighborhoods find funding for design and planning projects.
Her work on
Coastal Gardener Magazine (1994 – 1997) filled a

coastal southeastern United States. It won the Merit Award in
Communications by the Georgia Chapter of the American Society of
Landscape Architects in 1997.
