Craig Thibault

Craig offers more than 25 years of experience in landscape architecture- and development-related fields. His expertise includes planning and designing parks, model homes, apartment communities, residential podium communities, commercial, retail, resort and urban projects throughout the United States, China and the Middle East.

Possessing an extensive understanding of design conceptualization and development, construction documentation, observation and the development process, Craig maintains strong control of planting design and species compatibility at all stages of a project.  His understanding of color, texture and layering produces dynamic visual solutions that endure.

Craig’s creative inspiration is derived from site history, site setting, architectural forms and style – harmonized through broad brush layouts and diagramming to formulate successful solutions with a story. Craig treats each project like a puzzle with many components, interconnecting to compose a dynamic statement, underpinned by a design philosophy that incorporates the principles of passion, value and integrity through design workshops, charrettes, drawing techniques and mentorship.

He holds a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from California State Polytechnic University Pomona in the USA, USA, and is a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA).
