Bio
Gay Diller
Lew has been coming to my town on a regular basis as a representative of the North Carolina Small Town Main Street program, organizing and leading a group of citizens to develop design/revitilization awareness and define initiatives to improve our downtown main street central business district. Most recently, our committee of volunteers had the idea to host a design charrette to brand our town, and Lew took the reigns, organizing and facilitating this highly successful event. I cannot say enough about how much Lew's advice and professional efforts have helped our town. He is a great leader who was able to identify some goals and motivate a group of volunteers to work together... the results are amazing. Many thanks to Lew for representing the Small Town Main Street program for the North Carolina Department of Commerce, and using his visionary, organzational, and leadership skills to help us understand how we can improve our main street business district and future planning to enhance and improve our brand. The folks here in Waxhaw have enjoyed getting to know Lew.

Work on various projects in various capacities. We are a Landscape Architecture, Land Planning, and Civil Engineering office with work throughout the east coast. We have projects which vary in scale from 2,000 acre master plans to .25 acre parks. I've worked on both types of projects for the office and have project managed on a few. We also provide construction management when necessary, which I've overseen on a number of projects. Work on various projects in various capacities.
