LEAD DESIGNER

Meet Shane, our accomplished Lead Landscape Designer, dedicated to the art of crafting enduring spaces. His passion lies in creating environments that not only captivate with their visual appeal but also radiate warmth, sophistication, and elegance. Shane's design philosophy, "Man with Nature," skillfully integrates natural elements with man-made structures, striking a perfect balance that enhances the connection to nature while harmonizing with man-made elements.
Shane was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ and has cultivated an understanding and appreciation for the “beautiful struggle” that desert living so displays. The fact that some of the most stunning desert plants are also the most thorny, or how even in the desert we can have green and lush landscapes that remain environmentally conscious.
Shane grew up as a competitive swimmer and his infinity for pools was birthed at a young age. Water shapes can play a large role in the formation of an amazing outdoor space. Not only pools but any water feature can transform a space to a tranquil retreat from a hectic world. Shane also loves cooking and along with his wife, who is an events planner, love hosting and entertaining. The outdoor space in Phoenix has the potential to be the perfect backdrop for a wonderful evening with friends and family. Spaces that allow for people to gather and be comfortable year-round is a critical part of the perfect outdoor space.
