Hugo Colón

Vice Chair

Hugo Colón is a Houston-based Landscape Designer and Community Planner interested in the interaction between urban environments, people, and water. His prior experience working with communities in the Rio Grande Valley along the Texas-Mexican border allowed him to witness the inequities communities face towards different infrastructure and community development issues related to transportation, stormwater management, open spaces for community gathering, and other public services. He is passionate about inclusive design practices and working with local communities in co-developing strategies that address these issues. As a Senior Landscape Designer at Asakura Robinson, Hugo manages multiple park, infrastructure, and planning projects that seek to address issues of ecosystem diversity, resilience, and mobility in the Houston area. Hugo joined the Board in 2022.
