As a kid, Nate Magnusson always wanted to be an architect.
Growing up in Tempe, Arizona, Magnusson was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture, and had opportunities to explore several of his commercial, institutional and residential projects.
“Those early experiences helped sharpen my vision for design,” he said.
And after his first two years studying at the School of Architecture & Environmental Design at Arizona State University, Magnusson changed his major to landscape architecture, “… as it resonated better with my goal of connecting people with nature through design.”
Although he still has a love for architecture, Magnusson appreciates being a landscape architect.
“Now, working on projects from all shapes and sizes, I’m able to see the communities who benefit from our hard work and dedication to elevate the public and private spaces throughout San Diego and Southern California,” he said.
As one of the younger presidents of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), San Diego chapter, Magnusson has brought passionate energy to the 40-year-old chapter and is helping to formulate its reputation as one of the most active of the organization’s 50 chapters in the country.
