Welcome to the new era for Donovan, Feola, Balderson, & Associates. Andy Balderson will pass the torch to Colleen Vacelet, founder of Intreegue Design, to carry on the legacy of the oldest practicing Landscape Architecture firm in Maryland. We welcome you, our client, to take this next step with us.
Our intertwined Story
As a young graduate from UMD, Colleen started off her career with DFB & Associates just as Dick Feola was retiring, and Andy Balderson was stepping into the role of President. So much was learned, an excellent landscape architect was cultivated, and a mentorship and a long standing friendship was formed.
Seventeen years later, Colleen has become a well respected landscape architect and business owner in her own right. Enough so that Andy, who has worked with the Intreegue team as a consultant and vice versa is excited to have the firm’s legacy carried on through Colleen and her Intreegue Team.
