LandCreative Inc. [LCI]
CREATING CONNECTIONS.
From person to person. From people to the land. It takes creative vision to connect the dots
from the client to the end-user. LandCreative is a landscape architecture and planning design
firm whose synergistic approach to connecting function and emotion results in fresh, engaging
and evocative design. The courage to think creatively and the real world expertise to deliver
successful project solutions. This is our big design ethos.

David B. Salkowitz, Principal | Founder
David B. Salkowitz has been practicing landscape architecture for 22 years in
leadership roles with two of California’s premier design and planning firms. During
this time he has directed all phases of design on domestic and international
projects alike. He has put his creative imprint on wide variety of project types,
including hospitality, gaming-oriented resorts, sports and entertainment-driven
themed environments, mixed-use and urban infill, master planned communities,
high-density and single family residential, and luxury estates. David’s distinct
design sensibility marries his foundation as a former European resident to his
experience as an American professional.
Prior to establishing LandCreative, David was Founding Principal at DBS
Landscape Architecture, and served as Principal and Director of Landscape
Architecture at HRP LanDesign, and as Principal and Studio Director at Lifescapes
International. David is a graduate of Colorado State University with a Bachelor of
Science in Landscape Architecture, and a CLARB certified Landscape Architect
licensed in the State of California (#4895). He is also a member of the American
Society of Landscape Architects and the Urban Land Institute.
Paul T. Wong, Principal | Founder
Paul T. Wong is a proven business and project leader with more than 24 years
of experience across all aspects of the landscape design profession. Paul has
helmed a wide variety of projects in the United States, Asia and the Middle East.
His areas of expertise include large scale communities, multi-family, hospitality
and leisure, retail, model homes and custom residential projects. Beginning with
a broad-view approach to comprehend the community and cultural context of a
given project, Paul integrates client and end-user needs with the constraints of
landform and budget to conceptualize and implement a harmonious design.
Paul was co-founder of the successful California-based design firm LandArc+West
(LAW), acquired by Mission Landscape Companies in 2007. Prior to establishing
LAW, Paul began his career at HRP LanDesign. He received his Bachelor of
Science in Landscape Architecture from Cal Poly Pomona. Paul is a licensed
Landscape Architect in the State of California and also a member of the American
Society of Landscape Architects.
“I’m driven by the desire to create beautiful, natural
spaces. I’m inspired by the meaningful experiences
such places provide.”
“Behind every breathtakingly simple design lies a
complex process that must be expertly managed.
I’m passionate about managing that process to
effect stunning results.”

Big Design.
What we believe and what we think - It takes a critical balance of
creative vision and experience to unite the two.
We think globally, regionally and culturally.
Drawing on 20+ years experience leading large project teams both domestically and abroad, we synthesize needs-oriented design,
considering regional and local context to ensure our solutions successfully integrate with the fabric of the community. Our work is born
from functionality-focused design thinking, in which our distinct creative direction and aesthetic overlay establishes a deep connection
between the client’s goals, a community’s needs and its cultural influences.
We think forward.
Our expertise to identify and resolve issues before they arise, provides us with the confidence to be flexible and responsive when they do.
We believe in the art of nature and the beauty of design.
Our team aims to create inspired spaces, sanctuaries from daily life that enable us to pause, take notice, and reconnect; with the land
around us, our fellow people, and with ourselves.

CREATIVE APPROACH.
We listen.

Then we create.
