Born the same year as LASN, Norris Design has brought innovation to Arizona, Colorado, Texas, and Oklahoma under the leadership of John Norris, PLA. Their most recent development is ND Smartscape - an original process combining irrigation, landscape architecture, and construction expertise. Some of John's best memories during his time in the profession are the parties his friend Chip would get him into at the ASLA Conferences. Though he's only been to 7-8 conferences, he's been to the LAF party each time and says they were all amazing. His favorite memory is from the conference in L.A. where the party was in a venue that seemed to be about five stories underground, under a huge skyscraper. (Photo Credit: Norris Design)
