Josephine "Kalie" Grubb is a managing Principal with Arcadia Studio and has been with the firm since 2013. She has managed a diverse portfolio of work throughout her time at Arcadia, including seeing the Japanese Garden Renovation at Lotusland from concept through completion.
Kalie's passion for landscape architecture is driven by the belief that communities and individuals can all benefit from time spent in well-designed outdoor spaces, whether it's a busy plaza accessible to all users or a winding path to a space of reflection and peace.

Kalie shares Arcadia Studio's Cota Street neighborhood favorites:
1. Color Services for photo prints. We have printed our portfolio images for our conference room, and the quality is excellent.
2. Dune for Friday coffee with the team.
3. Chase Palm Park for a lunchtime stroll.
4. Forged Iron is close by, where Jeff Meister creates beautiful custom lanterns, along with larger railing and ironwork installations.
5. Mother Dough Bagels for a yummy meal any day.
6. Coast Reprographics for all printing needs.
7. Tamar for a delicious Mediterranean lunch.
8. The Win~dow for healthy, filling grain bowls.
9. Santa Barbara History Museum. Arcadia helped with the site long ago, and it's a great source for local history.
10. Walks to Library Plaza to pick out favorite books with my family. Our office completed the plaza in 2024!
