McCullough is responding to its increased demand with the hire of two new Associates: Andrew Schlesinger and Kevin Belair. Both Associates recently relocated to San Diego and have become key team members of the award-winning landscape architecture firm. McCullough’s growth will help accommodate its numerous high-profile projects throughout California, the Western US, and China.
Andrew Schlesinger, ASLA
Mr. Schlesinger earned his undergraduate degree in Environmental Studies at the University of Vermont, and his Master of Landscape Architecture from Rutgers University. Relocating from the East Coast, he joins McCullough after founding his own design-build company, where he focused on plant-centric, native, and drought-tolerant residential landscapes. He also worked as a Landscape Designer for M+B+C Associates, and at a nonprofit in Central New Jersey where he applied urban farming techniques to address food insecurity. He brings a passion for addressing climate change with tangible, site-specific, community-level design solutions.
Kevin Belair, ASLA
Mr. Belair attended the University of Minnesota where he completed his Master of Landscape Architecture. Coming from the Midwest, he brings experience in park design, community development, mixed-use housing, comprehensive plans, and digital visualization. Much of his work has been with multidisciplinary design firms where he collaborated with other design professionals. He believes good design will challenge how people value, experience, and understand landscapes.
Catherine McCullough, CPSM, President & CEO of McCullough, states, “Andrew and Kevin each bring unique passions and perspectives, which have already enhanced and diversified our team. We’re excited to have their expertise as we continue to grow and take on several new projects both locally and abroad. We’re very appreciative of our visionary clients, who contribute to the firm’s growth.”
