Valerian: Landscape Architecture, Master Planning, Urban Design
Valerian’s primary goal in business is ultimately client satisfaction. To achieve this, our office structure is set up to garner the creative input from all levels and experience of the staff. While in most projects there remains one main point of contact, the project managers work with each project independently to match the most appropriate designers to each project.
At Valerian, there are no “assigned teams” where everyone works with the same set group on every project, every day. Rather, we create a dynamic work environment where projects are given the opportunity to be explored by the most qualified designers possible.
Our staff includes seasoned world travelers who have “seen it all” to entry level graduates with all the zeal and energy one would expect. We pride ourselves on the ability to build from both ends of the spectrum by taking creative approaches to practical design solutions. More...
