My name is Eric Din, and I run the solo practice that is Landform Build.

I bring a rare combination of breadth and depth to everything I do — never content to be confined to just the details or only the big picture. My career began not in construction, but in engineering entrepreneurship. I spun a battery technology company out of my graduate school research that grew from NSF grant funding, where I handled everything from grant writing and circuit board design to business development with global automotive and battery OEMs.

Over time, I realized that engineering alone lacked an aesthetic creativity I craved. That realization led me on a self-directed journey into architectural design, zoning and housing policy, and construction management — an effort that eventually led to the launch of Landform Build. I see the design/build process as a connected system, where regulatory constraint, design, financial feasibility, and construction all inform one another. My strength lies in working across these disciplines, combining them into a seamless process that maximizes efficiency, creativity, and value for clients.

At Landform Build, I focus on infill projects — ADUs, single-family homes, and multi-family housing — where thoughtful design meets efficient construction. I run a lean operation, partnering with trusted trade and professional collaborators, while applying my background in project and people management to keep every detail aligned. The result: projects that are practical, beautifully designed, and built to deliver lasting value.
