At Superseed, we’re pragmatic optimists– when humans work with natural systems, both flourish.
Our team has combined experience in landscape architecture, urban planning, horticulture, fabrication, social science, and ecology. We are a small crew of enthusiastic experts who work hard to realize the potential of our urban and suburban land.
Spencer Branson
Founder, Designer, Installer
Spencer founded Superseed in 2024 to give people resources to meaningfully connect with the natural world through their landscapes.
As a former city planner, Spencer shaped long-range planning initiatives and urban design projects that integrated green infrastructure and urban agriculture into communities. He has extensive hands-on experience in installation, custom fabrication, organic farming, and permaculture. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture from Colorado State University.
Spencer is a husband, father of twins, and steward of a half-acre plot of land– all of which are humbling and immensely gratifying. He takes particular delight in the small creatures and native pollinators that make landscapes come alive, and has a passion for designing with plants and materials that celebrate the regional specificity of each site.
Indigo Deany-Braun
Content Manager
Indigo helps shape the content strategy, educational resources, and brand identity at Superseed. Her work makes complex ecological concepts accessible, empowering people to create meaningful relationships with their landscapes.
Indigo has expertise in horticulture, environmental anthropology, and community engagement and holds a Master’s degree in Social Science from the University of Chicago. She is passionate about the capacity for gardens and landscapes to transform people and communities. She is a lifelong gardener and painter; her favorite plant this season is the Front Range Penstemon.
Brian Stokes
Landscape Installation Technician
Brian can be found onsite at each client project– rain or shine– working on everything from hardscapes to irrigation to plantings. He ensures that each installation is executed with exceptional quality.
Brian holds a Bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture from Colorado State University and has experience in forest management, trail construction, and wildland firefighting. He is an avid backpacker (the longer the trail, the better– he backpacked 3,100 miles from Mexico to Canada along the Continental Divide Trail). His favorite flower is the Western Pasqueflower, which reminds him of the Truffula Trees from The Lorax.
Where we work
We are based in Fort Collins, Colorado. We design and install Case Studies locally.
The Landscape Action Guide is tailored for broader use across the semi-arid West.
