Epic work is
only possible
when you
have the
right people.
The kind of people who are good at what they do and know how to have fun in the process.
We always
take our
work seriously. But never ourselves.
We keep things light. We laugh hard. And we genuinely enjoy one another’s company. It’s our secret sauce. And when you work with us, we consider you part of the team. So prepare to roll up your sleeves and have some fun too.
Our team in their Natural Environment.#dtjculture
The "Day in the Life" of a Landscape Architect is entirely different from the next, and comes with its own challenges and thrills. The excitement and possibility are fueled by a team that pushes to find creativity in every project facet. From strategizing around a war table to celebrating the grand opening of our latest themed attraction, we try to harness and embrace the spontaneous flow to do our best work.

Experiencing creativity and inspiring innovative thinkers! 💡
Last week, our Atlanta team volunteered at the Agape Youth and Family Center`s Corporate Volunteer Day. We toured their impressive new building, welcomed students into the after-school program, and our team served as Homework Buddies for the Kindergarten through 5th grade classes. And, as a fun landscape architecture exercise, we encouraged their creativity to blossom by designing an outdoor park together.
We had a blast! The Agape students were excited to learn about our local projects, like Centennial Olympic Park, and eager to share that they have visited our amazing themed entertainment projects, like Baha Bay and Volcano Bay. We`re grateful to the @agapeatl for welcoming us to learn more about their mission to help the students in their community embrace and achieve their full potential, and to share our passion for designing awesome places.
Mitch Broussard just leveled up to licensed architect! Mitch`s nearly 5-year journey with us has been nothing short of inspiring, packed with his standout contributions to epic projects like the Desert Mountain Renegade Club and the Waypoint at Westerly Amenity. Reflecting on his work, Mitch shares, "The Renegade Clubhouse was a fresh challenge right from my start at DTJ, offering an opportunity to work on something completely new." He adds, "Every design, from townhouse bedrooms to outdoor lounges, impacts someone`s life, sometimes in ways they don`t even realize." Join us in applauding Mitch`s dedication and creativity in his career, which truly makes a difference. 👏
Meet Travis, our "Experience Creator" (his self-given title), who has a knack for adding a dash of fun to everything he does. During the pandemic, Travis turned his home into a greenhouse, nurturing not one, not ten, but a whopping 71 house plants. His green thumb isn`t the only thing he tends to, either. He`s a proud pet parent to Winslow, aka "Buddy," his Winter White Hamster—a character in his own right.
As a kid, Travis dreamed of becoming a zoologist; he now channels that curiosity into designing meaningful spaces in our architecture studio. His friends and family describe him as honest, loyal, and delightfully sarcastic, a combo as punchy as his favorite meme—the kid with a fist full of sand (we know, it`s hilarious every time).
We`re not just grateful for his exceptional talent and collaborative spirit. We`d trust him with our house plants and our house plans alike!
Last week, DTJ Austin team celebrated the warm welcome of two incredible architectural designers, Josiah and Farrah! 🌟 They each showcased their portfolios, allowing us to delve deeper into their individual journeys and discover the unique experiences they bring to DTJ. It was an exciting opportunity to get to know them personally and professionally. We couldn`t be more thrilled to have them on board, bringing fresh perspectives and talents to our creative team!
Meet Taylor Atkins, our newest intern-turned-full-time team member in the Planning Studio! 🌟
Taylor’s passion for creating engaging outdoor spaces led her to major in Landscape Architecture and join the ASLA chapter during her tenure in college. She’s thrilled to bring her creative ideas to life on a neighborhood scale, and showcase her knowledge in the industry, guided by the words: "The future belongs to those who dare to dream beyond boundaries."
Fun facts: Taylor knows how to ski backwards, and she picked up running during the pandemic. And let`s not forget to mention her lovable dog Toby (a.k.a. Mr. Moof) who’s famous for his sock-stealing talents and his enthusiastic “good boy” barks. 🐾
With genuine, caring, and hardworking qualities, we can’t wait to see all the amazing things Taylor will accomplish! 🌱
