In Drew Carman’s work for more than a decade as a designer and landscape architect he has focused primarily on park, trail, and open space planning. Having worked on projects throughout the United States from local urban park developments to state & national park projects, Drew has developed a keen knowledge of design principals matched with a real-world understanding of what makes a trail experience a true experience rather than simply a way to get from A to B. Before joining RVi Planning + Landscape Architecture in Austin, Texas, Drew was one of the lead park planners for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. While with TPWD, he gained experience developing and updating public use plans, facility development plans, and park master plans for some of Texas’ premier state parks. As a project manager at RVi, Drew has lead planning & design efforts for public projects throughout Central Texas including the Brushy Creek Regional Trail in Williamson Co., San Gabriel Park in Georgetown, Jacob’s Well in Hays Co., and McKinney Roughs Nature Preserve in Bastrop. Drew’s creative energy outside of his passion for Landscape Architecture is put to use as an avid songwriter & musician under the name Carman A.D. He also enjoys cutting, bending & welding any piece of steel he can get his hands on.
