About Urban Village Designs LLC

Urban Village Designs LLC is a for-benefit company, started by Drake James, and is now run by our wife and husband team. We are driven by the idea that sustainable and regenerative culture can and should exist in the urban environment.

​

The urban village, to be a vibrant and thriving experience of reciprocity, connection and health, is in desperate need for radical healing to both place and people. In order for our “urban villages” to be regenerative, we must consider a multi-dimensional approach to working on the land, while we nurture the healing of ourselves and our communities. 

 

We meet people where they are by offering land stewardship--an evolving practice of landscaping--that has the ability to combine modern techniques, Traditional Ecological Knowledge and sustainable technologies to meet a wide range of aesthetic preferences and ecological benefits.

​

In so, our mission is to foster place-based, co-creative and mutually beneficial relationships between humans and the natural world through sustainable and regenerative design, installation, stewardship and education--tailored to your unique interests and property needs.
