Biography

Matthias Jung, born in Bavarian Germany, has been an artist since doodling in notepads as a young lad. After getting a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a focus in Visual Communication and Design, he worked his way from film development and magazine designer to Communications Director. Though after many years of great successes and his love for the creative work, the need to create was moving towards hand tools.

Matthias decided to leave the desk life and venture into becoming an experienced Landscape Professional. He regards landscaping as sculpting, by moving land, adding plants and accentuating residential homes with lighting. Matthias designed and build tailored wooden fences, porches, and pergolas, which lead him to become a Finish Carpenter, working on new and remodel residential homes in the hills of west Austin.

Matthias has used his background in technical and creative design, military and nonprofit service, leadership eduction, and project management experience to make him an invaluable asset to any project.

As a strong community advocate, Matthias has work with an array of sustainability initiatives and organizations, such as co-founding the Houston Access to Urban Sustainability Project and implementing its initiatives as a board member. He now serves on both a local and national board to support cooperative living  projects here in Austin and throughout the country.
