About
Kheri Armer-Newell
I strive to build a relationship with our clients so we can design an outdoor space they will enjoy for years to come.

Kheri grew up in a small northern Arizona town where she fell in love with the outdoors. After high school Kheri moved to Scottsdale, AZ to pursue an interior design degree, which ultimately led to her realizing how much she missed the outdoors. Instead of going directly into the interior design industry after graduating, Kheri began working for the forest service as a Wildland Firefighter and served multiple seasons taking assignments across the country. During that time, she became passionate about restoration, biophilia, and ecology. The time she spent outdoors led her to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture at Arizona State University .
After earning her BSLA degree, she relocated with her family to Tucson, Arizona. In Tucson, Kheri collaborated with landscape design/build firms to refine her skills in creating thoughtful and functional outdoor environments. This experience led her to establish Kanvas Landscape Design, driven by the need to offer clients improved communication and carefully crafted spaces that align with their lifestyles.
Kheri strives to balance the interior elements with outdoor living for an overall cohesive design.
She now lives in Boise, ID with her two daughters, and husband. Outside of designing personalized landscapes, you can find her traveling, hiking, coaching gymnastics and drinking coffee.
