   Jan 1999 — Present

   Viridian heals ecological systems while making beautiful places for people.For more than 20 years, Viridian has been designing resilient landscapes that enrich the built and natural environments. Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of green infrastructure, a passion for native vegetation, and a belief that everyone should have access to beautiful landscapes - regardless of age, income, or ability. From pocket parks to campuses to regional master plans, our work balances practical solutions with lyrical design. By considering issues like flood control and soil remediation alongside strategies for inclusive and impactful placemaking, we help clients realize their goals while uplifting communities. When we restore native landscapes, native landscapes restore us.
