Lage Design, a leading landscape architecture firm based in Henderson, has announced the addition of Jon Marenfeld and Marcantonio Fodera to its team of design professionals. Fodera and Marenfeld serve as landscape designers with Lage, bringing ample experience and expertise to their new positions.

“We are excited to welcome Jon and Marcantonio to our team,” said Cecilia Schafler, principal of Lage Design. “Both Jon and Marcantonio are passionate about their craft and possess the skill set and knowledge for creating desert, drought-tolerant designs, developed to address challenges unique to the environment. They are talented designers and accomplished professionals. I am looking forward to all that they will achieve with our firm.”

For 20 years, Marenfeld has completed landscape architecture projects locally for both private and public clients. With established expertise in planting and irrigation design, Marenfeld has successfully delivered projects of all sizes throughout Arizona and Nevada. He holds a bachelor’s degree in geography from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and a master’s degree in landscape architecture from the University of Arizona. Currently, Marenfeld is a member of the national and Nevada chapters of the American Society of Landscape Architects, in addition to the Southern Nevada Conservancy.

Prior to accepting his new role with Lage Design, Fodera honed his skills at the Springs Preserve, expanding his knowledge of desert native and adaptive plants, landscape maintenance, irrigation systems and planning design. A recent graduate of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, (UNLV), Fodera holds a bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture.

While studying at UNLV, Fodera was an active member of the American Society of Landscape Architecture Student Chapter and held integral roles as liaison and treasurer throughout his three years with the chapter.
