JEREMY CRITES, DESIGN ASSOCIATE
Jeremy Crites completed his Master’s of Landscape Architecture in 2025, but his passion for plants and design took root as a teenager. He spent almost a decade living in Germany and Austria in his 20s, where he was exposed to a radically different urban fabric and design parameters. A curious traveler with keen attention to details, he brings home inspiration from designs and unique approaches he encounters while visiting new places.
His passion for integrating local ecology into designed spaces stems from his childhood on the farm in rural Arkansas. Uniting function and beauty that’s inspired by and supports nature, Jeremy enjoys connecting people with their surroundings by incorporating wildlife and dynamic seasonality into his designs. Always a fan of flowers, he’s come to most appreciate the fauna of gardens filled with birds, butterflies, and friends.
