Manuel discovered his love of spatial design at a young age through computer games. This
passion blossomed into a Bachelor of Science degree in Landscape Architecture awarded by
the Technical University of Höxter, Germany. Afterwards, he spent five years working with
award-winning professionals in Northern California, designing estates all throughout Sonoma
County and the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2020, he started Stein Design and has since helped
hundreds of clients realize the gardens of their dreams.
In his spare time, he enjoys racing and restoring vintage cars and spending time with his cat
Martes.
