Jake’s passion for nature and design began at his family’s greenhouse near Madison, Wisconsin, where he developed a deep connection to the land and a desire to cultivate thriving environments. This passion led him to Texas, where he worked for multiple renown landscape firms, gaining experience on a diverse range of projects across the globe. Motivated by these experiences, Jake established CultivateLAND to reshape public spaces, focusing on unlocking their full potential to serve communities and enhance urban fabric.
