experience

It all started when…

After working a couple seasons for different landscape contractors in Indiana and New Mexico, it was obvious that as an installer and builder I was limited to implementing the designs of others. My passion for learning the creative aspects of Landscape Architecture led to training in the College of Architecture and Planning at Ball State University. Design Life LLC was started to put all my experience, training, and passion to good use.
