Jeremy Howe Steenblik- Partner

As an elementary student in Phoenix, Arizona, Jeremy first discovered his love for architecture, admiring the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed organic masterwork David and Gladys Wright House next door to his school. A 25-year career in fashion led Jeremy to California, where he honed his eye for detail and knack for selling and sharpened the fine points of lease negotiation, site selection, and interior design project management. A budding native plantsperson, Jeremy is committed to preserving the historical integrity and beauty of the natural and built California environment.
