OUR TEAM

At Surroundings, our leadership is grounded in experience and expertise. Kenneth Francis, the owner, and Faith Okuma, our Principal-in-Charge, bring a combined wealth of 50+ years' experience in landscape architecture, master planning, design guidelines, architecture, and strategic and regional planning. Both of us hold licenses in Landscape Architecture and Architecture and are LEED accredited.

Our diverse team comprises talented landscape designers, planners, CAD/Graphics specialists, and dedicated administrative support. To ensure stability and reliability, we structure our project teams meticulously. Each team is spearheaded by a Principal-in-Charge, guaranteeing active involvement throughout the project and maintaining consistently high-quality outcomes.

Complementing our principals, each project is assigned a dedicated project manager responsible for day-to-day communication and project progress. We select support staff tailored to the unique requirements of each project, ensuring a customized approach that maximizes project efficiency and effectiveness.
