Kellen Mescher, of Minster, recently joined the Garmann/Miller staff as part of the landscape architecture department. In June 2009 he received a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture from The Ohio State University's Knowlton School of Architecture.

As part of an Urban Planning design studio at Ohio State, Mescher's student design team's urban planning redevelopment project was highlighted in an April edition of The Columbus Dispatch. In summer 2008 he worked for the City of Troy Engineering Department and got involved in creating a marketing booklet to promote the design of a park along the Great Miami River. This past summer he designed a schematic concept plan for the project. Currently, the project is trying to gain public support and is part of the city's ongoing marketing campaign.
