NUDGE DESIGN was launched in 2017 by us, Brian Ott and Philip Koske. We are passionate about our craft and wholly dedicated to demonstrating the importance of landscape architecture in modern life. With decades of design experience, we bring a deep understanding of site systems, horticulture, and human behavior. Because our personal time and attention are at the heart of every project, our team is sized to maximize accountability, craftsmanship, and service. Our design approach combines natural patterns of the landscape with basic principles of art. Landscapes are inherently changeable, and this approach helps maintain beauty over time.
