Meet The Founder
Evan McNaught, RLA
Cartographer, Landscape Architect, & Drone Pilot
Evan founded McNaught Design to support outdoor recreation nationwide and to demonstrate the power of compelling visuals in inspiring a deeper appreciation for nature. After years designing public parks across the country with OLIN in Philadelphia, he recognized the vital role that aerial imagery and detailed maps play, not only in the design process but also in shaping how people experience and connect with outdoor spaces.
Evan is a licensed landscape architect, cartographer, and FAA Part 107 drone pilot. He brings his unique background of horticulture, design, conservation, and technology to every project. When he is not working, he loves backpacking, snowboarding, and gardening.

"A pleasure to work with."
My marketing team needed some select drone shots of a property in a pinch, and I'm so glad that Evan was referred to us. Not only did he produce beautiful work, but his delivery was incredibly fast. He was such a pleasure to work with—if you need drone photos and video footage...he's your guy.

"McNaught design provided critical support."
Recently completed a project for a client on an historic location in Bucks County, PA. McNaught design provided critical support & logistics for our project - drone photography & GPS mapping for our arboretum project led to a wildly successful website & graphic representation of this unique property. As contractors, we could not be more pleased with the level of communication and timely execution for this project collaboration.
