Our Team

Devin Golob, owner of Root of Design LLC, has 20 years experience designing landscapes in the Pacific Northwest. Prior to starting her own company, she worked full time for two firms where she designed large and small scale projects for residential housing, commercial businesses and public areas. Because her father was career military, Devin moved often as a child and with each new location she was fascinated with the various plants that gave each area its unique sense of place. Horticulture classes ultimately led her to pursue a degree in Landscape Architecture    at the University of Washington. 

Devin's passion involves meeting with clients to assess their needs and seeing the plans come to fruition. She will take into account client needs, desires, lifestyle and budget to create a sustainable landscape that can be enjoyed all year long. Her goal is to create aesthetic designs with the latest sustainable products and practices all while staying on budget and ensuring clients receive the best possible product for their dollar.

Nikki Hohl is a licensed landscape architect with over 10 years of experience.  She attended the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry graduating with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture. Nikki has practiced residential and commercial design and enjoys creating outdoor spaces that are both functional and beautiful. She appreciates working with clients who are excited about their upcoming projects, helping them cultivate a vision, and watching their space transform. 

Nikki grew up on the coast of Maine where her love of the ocean, wooded forests, and classic New England gardens fostered a desire to design a variety of landscapes. She has enjoyed blending east coast style with Washington’s native environment and learning to incorporate the true PNW feel in her designs. 

Kayla Jorgensen is a licensed landscape architect with over 18 years of experience in the landscape and design industry. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and is a Pacific Northwest native who developed a love for the nature and design at an early age. Kayla loves plants and exploring the different ways they can be used to transform a space as well as keeping in mind the maintenance aspect of the design, ensuring the plants and designs will look great for years to come. She enjoys spending time with her husband and children as well as hiking and gardening.  

  Joe came to landscape architecture through a winding path that began with eight years in construction as a low voltage installer and project manager. In 2019, he transitioned to landscape contracting, where he discovered a deep passion for landscape design that would reshape his career. This led him to intern at a prominent landscape architecture firm in Portland, Oregon, while he searched for the right graduate program to formalize his design education.

Joe chose the University of Washington's landscape architecture program for its exceptional reputation and location in the Pacific Northwest—a region he loves for its unique character and incredible plant palette. He graduated with his Master of Landscape Architecture in 2025, bringing together his years of hands-on construction experience with rigorous design training.

What Joe loves most about landscape architecture is the ability to make a real environmental impact. Through phytoremediation strategies and thoughtful use of native plants, he gets to contribute to keeping the Pacific Northwest as amazing as it is.

When he's not at his computer, you'll find Joe in the kitchen, where he considers himself a fairly decent chef, or out exploring the greater Seattle area with his dog Jax, who's always eager to help discover new trails and neighborhoods.
