Jordan Crystal
Founding Principal
Jordan Crystal founded CVA Design Associates, Inc. in 2018 with the goal to provide high-quality landscape architecture and design services for landowners, builders, and institutions. Jordan brings over 20 years of experience as a registered Landscape Architect throughout the state of California and abroad. Throughout his career, Jordan realized successful design work was continually fused by three core principles: Collaboration, Vision, & Artistry. These principles remain essential components to the successful outcome of any project. They also align with a sustainable approach to building and developing a business. Looking to the future, Jordan believes deeply in conservation, land stewardship, and a strong relationship with the natural world.
“There are parallels in approaching life and business: continually learning, growing, & evolving. We have a responsibility in our development & building practices to preserve our environment for future generations.”
