Telman Ibrahimov
Lead Design ConsultantTelman joined us in 2021 after working in landscape architecture. He got tired of outdoor projects where clients would ignore maintenance recommendations, then blame the design when things didn't flourish.
What makes him valuable here is his refusal to oversimplify. When a retail client wanted dramatic vertical gardens throughout their space, Telman spent two days mapping light exposure and foot traffic patterns. His final recommendation used vertical elements strategically in three zones, not everywhere—which actually created more impact than the original concept would have.
He's particularly good at working with facility managers. Instead of handing off care instructions and disappearing, he trains their teams on what to actually watch for. That follow-through is why our installations maintain their appearance years later.
