Ian Schleh is inspired by the beauty and balance of the natural world. His design philosophy draws from the harmony found in wild spaces—the rhythm of the seasons, the ebb and flow of plant interactions, and the awe-inspiring beauty of nature. As a native of the Pacific Northwest, Ian deeply appreciates the region’s abundant natural inspiration and incorporates its essence into his work.

Ian holds an Associate's degree in Horticulture with a specialization in Landscape Design from Edmonds College. With roots “in the dirt” from an early age, Ian's passion for the land extends to helping with his family’s herd of Highland cattle and participating in contra dancing—a lively mix of swing dancing and folk music.
