GeoDesign, Inc. was formed in January 1995 by Senior Principals Theodore (Ted) von Rosenvinge, P.E., D.GE, LEED® AP, and Ulrich LaFosse, P.E. An office was opened in Middlebury, Connecticut , and from the beginning, the focus of the firm has been to provide quality geotechnical, construction and environmental engineering consulting services for the design and construction industry.

Four additional principals have been added since the founding of the company. In June 1995, John Lens, P.E., joined GeoDesign. The addition of John expanded the firm's presence in northern New England through the establishment of an office in Windsor, Vermont .

engineering approach, create effective solutions to our clients' environmental needs.
