Director of Marketing and Business Development

KTUA is a collaboration of planners, landscape architects, GIS analysts, and graphic designers focused on the creation of livable communities. Established in 1970, KTUA has expanded the boundaries of a traditional landscape architecture office by incorporating active transportation, community planning, federal planning, and natural resource management practices into our portfolio.

We deliver well-planned solutions for diverse and challenging projects by drawing on our creative spirit, innovative use of technology and lessons learned from more than 54 years of experience taking projects from idea to implementation.
