Strategic Construction Guidance
About Steve
With 25+ years of experience in design, building, and project management, I create outdoor spaces that feel personal, practical, and beautifully integrated with how you live. Beyond design, I provide guidance through budgeting, planning, and contractor vetting and selection—helping you avoid common construction missteps and move forward with confidence.
Each project begins with thoughtful conversation and a thorough review of your property’s assets and challenges. Together, we explore your goals, your family’s routines, and how you want to experience your outdoor space. From there, we develop a detailed Project Outline and a curated set of digital Inspiration Boards to help shape a clear and purposeful design direction.
As a San Diego-based landscape designer, my multidisciplinary background includes landscape architecture, furniture design, product development, and construction strategy. My experience includes leading design-focused companies and developing home collections for brands like Nordstrom, Restoration Hardware, and Crate & Barrel. For the past decade, I’ve focused on working with families to create outdoor spaces that are functional, inspiring, and reflective of how they live.
Originally from Long Island, I spent several years in Boston studying Architectural Engineering and Industrial Design while raising my twins. I later made San Diego home, where I bring calm, creative energy to each project—listening closely, collaborating fully, and helping ensure your outdoor space is both beautifully designed and thoughtfully executed.
