design-it landscapes and mike cass creative is led by Director and Principal Designer Mike Cass; with over 30 years of experience, he is an internationally acclaimed designer who places creativity at the heart of all he does.
Mike doesn’t subscribe to a specific design philosophy. He doesn’t get mired down in passing fads or trends. Instead, he operates from a single, ambitious ethos: offering clients proportion. It’s a simple word, but a powerful one. After all, proportion is the perfect balance between form and function; innovation and intuition; affordability and awe-inspiring. It’s a school of thought that has seen Mike’s work gain recognition from Sydney to Byron Bay, London to New Zealand to Arizona.
But despite his extensive experience, Mike remains fiercely passionate about the fundamentals of design, embracing a humble, hands-on approach and a personable collaborative spirit on each and every project. He’s driven not just by seeing his work take shape, but by the pleasure it brings his clients; knowing that he’s helped transform not just a backyard, but a way of life.
