Hire the Best Site Planning Freelancers
in the United States

I am a civil designer with over 21 years of extensive experience in the construction industry. I have extensive project experience in industrial and municipal water and wastewater systems, stormwater management, and civil site design. I can take your project idea and make it a reality, from site selection, survey, design, permitting, and see it through construction. If you’re halfway there and just need help getting your project drafted or past the permitting agency I am skilled in getting results. My wife runs a flower farm from our home in central Arkansas and I’m on Upwork so I can support our family and support growing her dream. If you're looking for a seasoned professional who is happy to help on the little projects or the big ones I appreciate the chance to be your designer.

MY EXPERIENCE, IN A NUTSHELL I am an Urban Planner + Designer with an Architecture background, with 25+ years of experience. Over the years, I have managed, planned and led project deliveries for world-renowned firms (including SOM, WSP, Perkins+Will, HOK, SmithGroup…) leading client meetings and presentations, while coordinating interdisciplinary teams, balancing ideas from, clients, community, stakeholders and consultants through the typically fluid and iterative planning and design process. Some of my duties included developing project scopes and schedules and devising and producing reports and presentations, while also actively contributing to project content with zoning, site, context and building feasibility analyses, plan visioning, inspiration and precedents curation, site layout, design and development, and developing innovative design principles and vision strategies along with concept, illustrative and framework plans. My efforts typically culminated in attractive written and graphic presentations and reports, such as Site Development Plans, Master Plans, Small Area Plans, and Comprehensive Plans. My work has included both unabridged reports where I wrote urban design framework narratives and guidelines preceding official policy and zoning code, as well as eye-catching PowerPoint presentations distilling complex information into something the public can easily and enthusiastically grasp. I’m also very comfortable presenting to all types of clients and leading community engagement sessions in English and Spanish (one of which made the local TV news). WHY FREELANCE NOW...? After couple of decades of an exciting and very demanding career, I find myself looking for a work arrangement that better suits my present lifestyle, while just choosing the projects I love to do and I know I'm good at. MY PRODUCTION & SOFTWARE SKILLS: I’m an expert in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, in which I integrate AutoCAD drawings, ArcGIS data layers and PowerPoint graphics to produce planning documents, drawings, reports, pitch books and presentations that are eye-catching and easy to grasp. I’m also an expert in Excel, which I use to clearly track and display space allocations, and easily calculate development data, gross floor area, and acreage tabulations, among other things. PLUS, AS A HOBBY... At a smaller scale, one of my favorite things to do is residential design: space planning, from site layouts to floor plans is my expertise – I find space where no one sees it, resulting in more practical, better (and happier!) places to live at. Just to point out a few jobs: • a friend of a friend commissioned me to remodel her kitchen, resulting in a total reinvention, a kitchen-dining-living addition with a window-filled "great room" commended for “bringing the backyard in" and ideal for family gatherings; • my sister needed to add an office in her 2nd floor townhouse, and I also added a master bathroom that she never imagined to have; • a friend commissioned me to split her (feisty) teenage daughters’ bedroom, and I gave them two private bedrooms each with a door – they said they never imagined it could look so good and feel so spacious in such a small area; • my other sister wanted an open kitchen but didn’t want to lose her pantry, so I relocated it to unused (and unseen!) space ideal for shelving in the adjacent laundry room, revealing an inviting central space for a kitchen island, frequently used by her young adult children gatherings

I provide engineering-grade terrain models, quantity analysis, and spatial data used for pre-design, site feasibility, construction planning, and field verification. My work supports civil engineers, surveyors, developers, insurers, and property owners who need reliable surfaces, measurements, and documentation without overcomplicating the process. Typical deliverables include DTM/DSM surfaces, cut/fill and earthwork quantities, contours, LandXML/DWG files, GIS outputs, and drone-based mapping or inspection documentation. I regularly work with AutoCAD Civil 3D, LiDAR, photogrammetry, GIS/QGIS, and Virtual Surveyor–style quantity workflows, producing data that integrates cleanly into downstream engineering, planning, or decision-making. In addition to office-based analysis, I also perform drone and on-site inspection work, including property and insurance-related inspections, condition documentation, and site verification. These projects often involve rapid turnaround, clear photo and map deliverables, and defensible measurements that insurers, adjuster networks, and asset managers can rely on. With over 14 years of experience supporting surveying and engineering workflows, I’m known for accurate data, practical execution, and clear communication. Whether you need terrain and quantities for design, site intelligence for planning, or reliable field documentation for inspection or insurance purposes, I bring a no-nonsense, professional approach focused on getting usable results fast.

I have been in the surveying/civil engineering business since 1979, currently still working for an engineering company that I have been with 30+ years and looking to retire in the next 5 years. I would like to supplement my retirement with civil work, grading plans, topographic surveys and creating 3d models for machine control.

I am a landscape architect, urban designer, real estate consultant, educator, and community planner with experience throughout the United States and around the world. I have worked with numerous public and private groups to develop strategic revitalization strategies, economic development initiatives, and community master plans for business districts, cultural areas, recreation facilities, and residential homes. I have designed lively, people-oriented parks, public spaces, streetscapes, residential areas, and plazas. I am experienced in managing multidisciplinary teams and have guided numerous complex planning and design projects from initial programming, through public approval, to design and implementation. I am skilled at community outreach and in integrating public participatory planning to projects both large and small in scale. I have conducted countless public workshops, brainstorming sessions, and presentations to ensure consensus building within the communities I work.
