Michael Bernier is the founder and lead designer of Michael Bernier Design, a premier landscape and exterior design firm based in Los Angeles, California. After a prolific career as an advertising Creative Director, Michael discovered his true passion while studying Landscape Architecture at UCLA—marrying his design expertise with his love for natural environments. Michael’s design process intuitively connects the building’s architectural style with the essence of the land on which it sits, while thoughtfully integrating the clients’ lifestyle needs and aesthetic desires. Wanting to share his knowledge of landscape design with a broader audience, Michael recently launched Think Outside Landscape Design Academy to instruct Do-It-Yourselfers and landscape professionals through online courses and videos.
