Hi. I’m Kenton

About Kenton

Kenton is a Designer at Natura based in San Antonio, specializing in interior plant design that enhances wellness, supports healing, and delivers measurable impact for commercial environments. With a strong passion for biophilic design, he focuses on transforming spaces through indoor plants, living walls, and moss walls that improve both human experience and business outcomes.

Kenton is especially known for his work in healthcare environments, where he replaces artificial greenery with sustainable live plant designs that promote a sense of calm, cleanliness, and care. His projects help create spaces where patients feel more at ease and staff feel more supported. At the same time, he ensures that Natura’s plant programs deliver the same consistency and reliability clients expect, making the transition from faux to live plants seamless and effective.

One of his standout projects includes redesigning plant programs for a multi-location primary medical care organization. By introducing live plants into previously artificial environments, he helped elevate the patient and staff experience while maintaining operational predictability. The result is a space that feels more welcoming, human-centered, and aligned with modern healthcare design.

While healthcare is a key focus, Kenton’s work extends across office and hospitality environments, where he brings the same therapeutic and experiential benefits of plant design. He is passionate about helping clients understand the return on investment of biophilic design, showing how what is good for people is also good for business performance.

With over ten years of experience in design within the artificial putting green and golf course industry, Kenton brings a deep understanding of how intentional environments influence emotion and behavior. He holds a Class A certification from the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America and has served as a Washington State Master Gardener, combining technical plant knowledge with design expertise.

Kenton’s specialties include living walls, moss walls, and full-scale plant design concepts that translate vision into reality. His process is highly collaborative and structured. He begins by identifying client pain points, then works through a guided discovery process to define the ideal look and feel. From there, he develops visual renderings to ensure alignment before installation, creating confidence and clarity every step of the way.

He believes the best outcomes come from strong relationships built on trust. Rather than simply selling plant design, Kenton focuses on creating environments that clients are proud to share, spaces that reflect their values while enhancing the experience of everyone who enters.

What Kenton enjoys most about working at Natura is the team culture and the shared commitment to excellence. He finds the greatest reward in seeing a client’s reaction when a project is complete, that moment of genuine excitement and connection when a space is transformed through the power of plants.
