Michael Batts PLA, LEED

Michael’s strategic design approach has foundational footing in that every idea has an identity and sensibility grounded by environmental awareness and users’ experiences. He has a deep understanding of how global systems evolve and an ability to connect nature, culture, people and place through design. His iterative creative process relies on both analog and digital sketching techniques to explore alternatives, align strategies and communicate meaningful ideas. Michael fosters a culture of design excellence with an established portfolio of well-respected works that reach beyond purpose or beauty – as they are actively enjoyed. Prior to his return to EDSA, Michael was Practice Leader with Stewart and a Senior Associate at Haden Stanziale.
