WHO WE ARE

About Us

The soul behind the company

The commitments we make to the South Florida and International communities are only made possible by the leaders guiding our team to success. With roots grounded in the past and a proud vision for the future, we are more prepared than ever to imagine soulful designs that elevate communities and provide people with welcoming places to gather, connect, and inspire.

Partners. Designers. Family.

Andrew Witkin

FASLA - President + CEO

"Landscape architecture can make a genuine difference in how people experience the outdoor space around them...where they live and vacation, where they work and shop, even the places they simply drive past. Designed with sensitivity, exterior environments can lift the spirit and touch the soul. It's a privilege to have a hand in that."

Kelly Ann Hults

LEED - Managing Principal

"As we continue to strive for new dimensions in exterior living environments – whether extreme contemporary styles or tropical havens – it's important to recognize the value of spaces that combine the right plant material with appropriate hardscape finishes and layout that delight the senses. The great part of my job is that I get to do that every day."

Jenney Hernandez

Partner

"Working together with a team that enjoys each other and takes tremendous pride in their work is very rewarding. My background in organizational management, hospitality, and finance enables me to bring an added dimension to our talented team."

Chris Eaves

PLA, ASLA - Partner

"I am continually inspired by nature and the people around me. Connecting people to places through thoughtful design is the most rewarding component of what we do. The transformation of a space into a perfect experience is complete when people are brought together to enjoy it."

It’s important to recognize the value of spaces that combine the right plant material with appropriate hardscape finishes and layout that delight the senses.

The History Behind our Success

From Andy's leadership and outstanding dedication to the Partners who further our mission and instill in our firm a modern voice that pushes our designs beyond expectation.
