Our SF Studio is looking for someone who loves the details, thinks like a builder, and thrives in the reality of translating complex design into real places.

A communicator with an opinion who can talk to your co-workers, contractors, and clients with clarity and confidence. Comfortable on site, in boots or Blundstones… you know what PPE is and how to rock it. Organized, proactive, and excited to grow with a team that values rigor and creativity equally. Self-motivated and self-managing, but you also know that it’s ok to ask questions and to ask for help…We are a team after all, and we want you to succeed. You Have

Graphic programs like Rhino and SketchUp would be helpful. We are also using Revit; some experience with this would be great, but you can learn here too. Experience with construction documentation, site observation, and construction administration. A collaborative spirit and sense of humor (essential!) A drive to see your work built. Why Here, Why Now?
Because the work matters. Because we believe landscape design is a tool for equity, resilience, and delight. Because we’re a studio that cares about mentorship, ideas, late critiques, rooftop lunches, and making things that last. Apply If You're Ready To
