DeSantis Landscapes, an Oregon landscape and horticultural services firm, announced that it has welcomed landscape designer Ryan Kauffman to lead the firm’s portfolio of residential landscape design projects.
Ryan joins DeSantis as the company reinforces it commitment to creating landscaped environments that elevate and enhance the human experience. “It’s easy to appreciate the significant lifestyle benefits that come from a beautiful landscape, but it’s becoming increasingly important to recognize what they do to improve the quality of life,” said Ryan.
“Working with DeSantis brings me full circle,” adds Ryan whose experience includes running his own landscape design firm and six years in industrial valve sales.
The firm has operated for nearly 50-years with a focus on reducing environmental impacts, improving air and water quality, and promoting plant and human health. “We all have a stake in this work,” said company president, Dean DeSantis. “Ryan’s interest in urban sustainability and his deep understanding of how people use outdoor spaces, supports our goal to create smart landscapes from the ground up.”
Ryan Kauffman graduated from University of North Carolina Wilmington with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Operations Management. After relocating to Oregon, he pursued a lifelong interest in architecture, attending Portland Community College where he received a degree in Landscape Design.
