Rick Ziska

I invite you to discover the passion and purpose behind our company, Wildscape Designs, rooted in the landscapes of Central Florida.

After 15 years as a financial advisor, immersed in numbers and charts, I found a deeper connection in the tranquility of nature. Gardening became my therapy, and my nights and weekends were dedicated to transforming the earth into vibrant, living spaces. Alongside my wife, we revitalized not just homes, but the land they stood on, creating thriving ecosystems where butterflies danced, birds sang, and the environment flourished. These experiences planted the seeds of what Wildscape Designs would become.

Kimberly Nieves

With a lifelong love of plants and a deep connection to the natural world, Kimberly has always found peace and purpose in gardens. Her professional background is rooted in building and scaling businesses — from startups to executive strategy roles — where she’s led complex operations and long-term growth initiatives. But the thread that’s always grounded her has been nature. It’s where she goes to slow down, reconnect, and feel most like herself.

Wildscape Designs is more than a business to Kimberly — it’s a way to bring that sense of harmony into other people’s lives. She believes gardens have the power to restore not just landscapes, but also the pace and quality of how we live. Kimberly brings both a strategic mind and a creative heart to this work, with a deep commitment to quality, beauty, and doing things the right way. This isn’t just landscaping — it’s a craft, a calling, and a chance to leave each space better than it was found.

KatieVance

Katie is a SWFL native who grew up playing in her grandfather's backyard nursery and going to landscape jobs with her father. From specialty garden centers, to the Naples Botanical Garden, to high end landscape design and architect firms, making something beautiful with nature is her life's purpose.

She has worked with edible gardens, gardens for children and people with differing abilities, butterfly and native gardens, along with a plethora of other specialty spaces. She loves working with plants and promoting the use of environmentally conscious practices.

Denisse Colón

Denisse Colón serves as our Office Coordinator, where she plays a key role in supporting daily operations, strengthening client relationships, and helping the team operate efficiently. Her professional background began in education, teaching students before transitioning into the cannabis industry, where she educated others on the plant's benefits and later expanded her work into Human Resources.

Through these experiences, Denisse developed strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills that now support her work in a fast-growing company.

Her passion for serving others and creating positive experiences is at the center of everything she does. Denisse is committed to providing exceptional customer support while helping systems and teams run smoothly behind the scenes.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy challenges the traditional approach to landscaping. We believe in embracing nature’s wild elegance rather than forcing it into rigid conformity. Every yard, garden, and public space we touch is a testament to the idea that humans and nature can coexist, creating spaces that are as functional as they are beautiful.

We focus on the power of native landscaping to support local ecosystems, using plants that naturally thrive in Florida’s environment to build habitats that provide food, water, and shelter for wildlife. Each project is designed with intention, balancing aesthetics with sustainability to create abundant, life-filled spaces.

With Wildscape Designs, you’re not just investing in landscape design; you’re investing in the future of our planet and your community. Let’s cultivate a world where nature and humans thrive together, right here in Central Florida.
