As a Principal with over 25 years of experience, Kona Gray has been involved in many planning, landscape architectural and urban design projects, ranging from large-scale master planning to detail site design with emphasis on community planning, hospitality, urban waterfronts, parks, healthcare and campus planning since he joined EDSA [1] in 1997. Blending sensitivity and context with a passion for creative design solutions is paramount to his approach.  Kona has a keen ability to translate a client’s vision to create places with purpose, priorities and physical presence.  Currently, Kona is leading a team of designer and landscape architects on projects in Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas, China, Dubai (UAE), Egypt, India, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, and St. Lucia.
