Russell E. Lee
Licensed Landscape Architect – Colorado, Wyoming, and Iowa
My father was an industrial designer. I remember watching him working at his drafting table creating unique products for custom corporate planes. That image inspired me to pursue design. Not wanting to be constrained by an object I chose landscape architecture and land planning where I can help my clients shape our built environment.

What people are saying about
Ripley Design Inc.
For a recent project, we needed to present to the city staff, the planning board, and the city council. Ripley Design knocked it out of the park with a well thought out presentation. They excelled at communicating to the boards through clean, focused graphics and this made all the difference.
