Nicholas Austin Design

I spent five years in surveying before moving into design, and that background still shapes how I work — I notice where a process is slow or repetitive, and I build something to fix it. Over time that's meant developing automation for landscape documentation that's meaningfully cut down how long that work takes, freeing up time for the parts of the work that actually matter. I'm equally invested in the rollout side of that work: training people properly so a tool actually gets used. My focus now is landscape architecture, but the surveying and building design experience behind it means I'm comfortable across the whole documentation chain, from raw survey data through to Civil 3D and Revit.
