Kalman began his career in Chicago and has worked in residential design for architecture, landscape and interior firms. When he returned to his home state of California he was immediately drawn to the unique indoor/outdoor living lifestyle and knew he wanted to exclusively contribute to the field of landscape design.
Kalman is fond of all disciplines of art, including modern and contemporary art, ballet, architectural and furniture design.
His other loves includes espresso, international travel (14 countries and counting!), bikram yoga, running and cycling. In his spare time he enjoys indoor plant propagation.
