Chase graduated from California Polytechnic State University of Pomona with a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture. He received an ASLA Student Honor Award for his work in the community with local schools and habitat restoration in Los Angeles. A San Diego native, his experiences growing up visiting the natural spaces along the west coast have resulted in a focus and connection with local plant material and locally sourced materials in design. His passion is in designs that cohesively address the context of a place and work with the local ecology to create a story. Chase has been working in the professional field since 2014 and has experience working on a variety of projects at different scales including parks, urban, commercial, residential, and habitat restoration.
