In this episode, host Traci Turnquist-Wilson welcomes two visionary leaders from RVi Planning + Landscape Architecture—Peter DuFrene, PLA, Associate Principal, and Shane Lekwa, Director of Planning—for a candid conversation about designing places that matter.
With more than 50 years of combined experience, Peter and Shane have helped shape everything from national veterans cemeteries and resort-style communities to urban trails, public parks, and large-scale master plans. They share insights on how great design starts long before the first shovel hits the ground—with empathy, collaboration, and a deep understanding of the land itself.
You'll hear how Peter’s background as a surveyor gives him a unique feel for topography and technical precision, while Shane’s passion for storytelling and strategic planning brings soul and cohesion to every project. Whether designing the next beloved neighborhood or preserving sacred ground for generations to come, these two prove that landscape architecture is as much about people as it is about place.
If you’ve ever wondered how communities go from blueprint to belonging—this one’s for you.
🎙 Tune in and discover how RVi is blending art, science, and heart to reimagine the future of development across Texas and beyond.
