Big day alert! We're celebrating the 8th anniversary of Senior Principal and Managing Principal of our Austin studio, Trent Rush, PLA, ASLA, and LEED AP

A leader at Hitchcock with more than 30 years of professional experience, Trent is dedicated to transforming client visions into reality through a collaborative and innovative design approach. Trent leverages his extensive knowledge of the local landscape and design environment to deliver exceptional service and uniquely responsive designs.

A proud graduate of Purdue University, Trent has cultivated a diverse portfolio that reflects his passion for creating spaces that resonate with their environment and enhance the user experience. His approach prioritizes the integration of natural surroundings, ensuring that each project not only meets functional requirements but also enriches the enjoyment of the space.

Trent believes that effective design is a partnership. By engaging closely with clients, he strives to understand their needs and aspirations, translating them into designs that are both innovative and practical. His team's success is rooted in our commitment to this collaborative process, ensuring that each project is tailored to its context and purpose.

Outside of the office, if he's not with his wife and two daughters, you'll likely find Trent riding two wheels as an avid road cyclist, or admiring four wheels as a classic car enthusiast.

Thank you, Trent, for all you do. Let's roll!

Southeast Metro Park is an inclusive all-abilities playground built with universal components to create an area of play that supports the cognitive, physical, sensory, visual, and auditory needs of all children.

The main play feature for the park is a 30-foot-long Mosasaur. Mosasaurs lived near the end of the Cretaceous Period about 66-90 million years ago and in the 1950s, the fossil remains of a Mosasaur were found in Onion Creek, which borders the park. While the playground will be specifically accessible to children with specialized needs, it will also be available for use by all Travis County residents.

Today, we're celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Senior Associate Aaron Elswick at Hitchcock Design Group!

Aaron is an Urban and Landscape Architectural Designer who at the age of 28 was identified by the Landscape Architecture Foundation as an under 35-year-old emerging leader within the profession.

A Kentucky native, he brings a core appreciation for mid-American style and culture, combining this with his passion for connecting the diverse but related fields of science, art, and design. He has a natural sense of how all aspects of a site can work together, and believes every public space, whether dense and urban, or vast and natural, should be filled with life. He works with clients to create outdoor programming, distinct visual places with a cultural vibe, with high integration into sustainable green infrastructure systems.

Outside of the studio, Aaron has served as a guest critique and professional studio advisor for both graduate and undergraduate architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design studios at the Savannah College of Design, University of Kentucky, School of the Art Institute Chicago, and the Illinois Institute of Technology. His nationally accredited (LA CES/HSW) drawing lectures and workshops have been hosted across the nation by multiple universities, ASLA and AIA state chapters, and at the ASLA national convention.

His passion for art and inspiring others led him to join Urban Sketchers Chicago where he annually teaches hundreds of students at local sketching events and serves as a member of the internationally curated uskChicago Urban Sketching Seminar faculty.

And, his South Florida location provides an exceptional opportunity for Aaron to explore and document his natural surroundings.

We appreciate you, Aaron. Happy anniversary! ... See MoreSee Less
