We’re excited to welcome back Colton Aftanski to the Viox & Viox team as our newest Landscape Architecture Co-op!
Colton is currently completing his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture at South Dakota State University and he will officially graduate at the end of the summer. He previously interned with us in the summer of 2023, and we’re glad to have him return. During his time at SDSU, Colton also worked for the School of Design as a Community Visioning Designer and a Teaching Assistant. These roles gave him hands-on experience in both creative problem-solving and engaging with community-driven design projects.

Colton’s journey into landscape architecture began with a lifelong love of drawing and creative expression. He was drawn to the field as a way to apply that creativity to real-world environments—helping shape spaces that are both beautiful and functional. He believes landscape architecture plays a unique role in connecting people to place through thoughtful and intentional design.
Outside of work, Colton enjoys hiking, traveling, and sketching. These hobbies continue to inspire his approach to design.
We’re thrilled to have Colton, landscape architecture co-op, back on our team and look forward to seeing the impact he’ll make. Welcome, Colton!
