Connor Bass
Designer
Connor grew up in Minneapolis, MN and moved to San Diego to attend SDSU to study Environmental Science. During his time in college he discovered his passion for connecting others to the outdoors. Once graduated, he began guiding long distance backpacking adventures throughout the Sierra Nevada.
Through the COVID pandemic he rediscovered his love for plants and built a garden utilizing permaculture practices. Since then, he has taken his inspiration from 5+ summers of outdoor travel and has been learning all he can about landscape design and construction to increase enjoyment and connection with the natural world closer to home.
In addition to his B.S. in Environmental Science from SDSU, he also holds an A.A. in Landscape Architecture from MiraCosta College, and a Permaculture Design Certificate from the SD Sustainable Institute.
