Erik Smith

I've often said "I just want to draw." Drawing led me to design and design led me to business. At 32, I became an owner partner of a successful Northern California landscape architecture firm. I create spaces for people to live and interact: at times, two things I feel are missing in my own life.

I sometimes eat too much, probably drink too much, always watch way too much tv and I never, ever act my age. I expect nothing in life except what I am willing to give and through much trial and error I have learned, above all else, the importance of being honest with myself.
