Andrew Holder
As a landscape designer with over 17 years of experience, Andrew Holder is driven to work with public agencies, private developers, and design professionals to help realize client goals. Andrew knows that an inspired vision combined with good design can make the world better, so he helps projects reach success by keeping the big-picture at the forefront of his process while staying rooted in constructability with attention to detail.
Andrew has worked on a wide variety of project types and scales, for clients including public agencies, health providers, public schools, higher education, commercial and residential developers, and private energy producers. He balances creative skills such as planting design, concept sketching, and illustration in both traditional and digital media with solid technical skills such as grading and detailing. For Andrew, the end goal is always a well-built project, so he brings a detailed focus to on-site construction administration to ensure success.
Andrew has always loved exploring the wild side of the Pacific Northwest, from the ocean to the volcano peaks, and is fascinated by the natural patterns and the tremendous beauty and diversity of the geology, wildlife, and plant communities. Those inspirations run through his design aesthetic, and reinforce his ethic of treating the land as one of the primary stakeholders in every project.
