In 1990 Candace Dillingham began her freshman year at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. She entered the School of Architecture seeking a degree in Landscape Architecture. Within the first semester of her studies she became hooked, and remained emersed in the five year program, getting the most out of her college career. She entered a contest (and won) the opportunity to study abroad for a summer in the Czech Republic, expanding her exposure to the elements of design in architecture and landscape architecture, enhancing her desire and thirst for her chosen field of work.

Immediately following graduation, from 1995-97 Candace practiced landscape architecture in Little Rock within a large multi-disciplinary firm. Her professional experience included design of parks, sports complexes, and multi-building hospitals and medical institutes. In 1997 she moved to Tulsa and worked under a variety of firms, ultimately deciding residential landscape architecture was her utmost passion. It was her strength as a people person, artist, and landscape architect that led her calling to build intimate collaborations/connections with the homeowners and clients, knowing that she possessed the capability and vision to provide them exactly what they were seeking.

In the year 2000, Candace established Skii Landscape Architecture. Since then, she has designed over 375 outdoor spaces (and counting). Her expertise is paying great attention to detail and customizing every design to the site and to the personality of her client.

According to Candace, “This is primarily achieved with good communication and interaction, and by truly digging into an understanding of the wants and needs of the client, who they are, their lifestyle, family dynamic, future goals, and how that relates to the space(s) they are wanting to create, then pulling those elements and information together and combining that with the experience of what works in both a practical and artistic fashion in order to give them the perfect personalized space.”

She has stayed true to that philosophy, and has proven its success by sustaining Skii Landscape Architecture for 21 years now. Since its founding, Candace has continued to design luxury landscapes for residences, communities, churches, restaurants, and beyond.

In addition to her dedication to landscape architecture, Candace also serves on the Oklahoma Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architecture, serving on the Scholarship Committee as well as holding title as Social Chairperson for the state landscape architects. Her most prestigious title is President Elect for Oklahoma Chapter of the American Society of the Landscape Architects, and will begin serving as President of the State Chapter in 2022.

Her works have been published in national magazines 8 times (and counting!) and was recently recognized as an OKASLA Merit Award winner in 2019 for her design of a residence in Tulsa.

“For every project, Skii vigilantly adheres to the guiding principle that a landscape should respond to its adjacent architecture, its social and natural histories, as well as the users of the space.”
