Camille Annette Cortes

Camille Annette Cortes is a designer at DPZ CoDesign. She received a degree in Architecture with a minor in Ecosystem Science Policy from the University of Miami in 2018.

As a native of Miami, Camille is conscious of the looming impact sea level has on her hometown and other communities worldwide. This realization led her to seek solutions and explore mitigation and adaptation strategies that tackle the issue more broadly.

Camille founded PLACE Initiative in 2020 along with colleagues from CNU who share her focus on climate and agree that urban design and equity are integral to any short and long-term climate actions. To further advance these solutions, Camille has been actively involved with CNU since 2019.
