OUR DESIGNERS
THOMAS DUNFORD partner
From childhood, Thomas has enjoyed drawing, painting and building. Later, he combined these interests with a love for nature in his work as a student of Landscape Architecture at Utah State University. His work experience includes positions in the fields of architecture, graphic design and fine art. The skills learned from these endeavors equipped him to create informed design solutions and communicate them clearly.
Understanding our role as stewards of natural resources led Thomas to develop a firm belief in the importance of responding to the natural systems around us. Being sensitive to those systems presents the opportunity to preserve and enhance the beauty of our living environment.
Thomas formed Kingbird Design as a way to do what he loves every day.
