"Clark Condon has impacted me in so many meaningful ways. As a young and emerging professional, stepping into the landscape architecture industry could have felt daunting, but Clark Condon made that transition feel exciting, empowering, and full of possibility. From the very beginning, the Clark Condon team believed in my potential. The firm has supported my growth while allowing me to play a valuable role in the work we deliver. That level of trust and support has fueled my passion and confirmed that I am exactly where I want to be—pursuing my dream of becoming a landscape architect. I have only been a part of the Clark Condon team for one year, and it has been a life-changing year, to say the least. But in many ways, Clark Condon had already been a part of my life long before I realized it. When I first walked through the office, I saw photographs of the firm’s past projects displayed on the walls. I did not just see completed designs—I saw pieces of my own story. I remembered taking my homecoming pictures at Rob Fleming Park, enjoying countless meals along The Woodlands Waterway, and capturing prom memories at Hughes Landing. These were the places where I spent meaningful moments, all designed by Clark Condon—before I even knew I wanted to be a landscape architect. To some, those experiences may seem small or ordinary, but to me, they were the quiet beginnings of a dream taking shape. I am proud to now be a part of the team that helped create those spaces. I look forward to continuing to grow with a firm that has already given me so much, and to contributing to the places that may one day inspire someone else’s journey, just as they inspired mine."

"In my first year at Clark Condon, I’ve experienced significant growth as a landscape designer. The diverse range of projects I’ve contributed to has deepened my technical skills and provided hands-on experience throughout the entire design process—from concept development to construction documentation. One of the most valuable aspects of this year has been gaining a deeper understanding of the construction process. Participating in site visits, reviewing submittals, and coordinating with contractors has given me a clearer sense of how design decisions translate into built form. I’ve also had the opportunity to expand my knowledge of planting design, particularly in working with the Texas plant palette. Learning how to select and arrange plant material that balances aesthetics, ecological function, and regional performance has been both challenging and rewarding. This exposure has strengthened my ability to think ahead, problem-solve, and detail more effectively. It has also given me a much clearer understanding of my evolving role within the profession."

"Dedication and a commitment to seeing projects through are essential, but it’s the teamwork—not just within our internal team, but also with the client and design team—that truly makes a difference. Witnessing the dedication of others on a project reinforces my own determination to persevere and succeed. The relationships built over the years, coupled with the steadfast support from Leadership to uphold and trust the plan, give me the confidence to continue growing alongside a talented group of individuals. To see a team that has each other’s back, staying united, means more to me than any single experience or accomplishment. It creates an environment where I can expand my knowledge, deepen my expertise, and build confidence. Ultimately, the relationships I’ve forged over the years have had the most profound impact on me. They are the constant, the foundation that sustains me, while projects come and go."

"The impact Clark Condon has made on me is through history and culture. From the time I moved to Houston in 2006, I've been aware of the high quality of work produced by the firm. Clark Condon has been involved with many of the significant and successful projects that are well known in the Houston area. That dedication to quality continues today through the transition of new leadership with a deep rooted history. The culture and especially the people of Clark Condon have always been one of the company's biggest assets. I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with many Clark Condon staff over the years. It was because of these experiences that the firm was at the top of my list when I moved back to Houston. Since joining the firm, I have experienced one of the best work cultures of any of the firms I have been with. There is a dedication to the staff's growth and development that will continue to pay dividends in both retention and producing very successful designs."

"Since joining Clark Condon, my children have grown up exploring the spaces we design. They often ask, "When will the next project be ready so we can visit?" These spaces not only create opportunities for families to make lasting memories, but they’ve also become special places for my own family to enjoy.

Professionally, Clark Condon has provided me with a platform to greatly expand my marketing knowledge.
