CONRAD GRAYSON – DIRECTOR

Conrad Grayson is the Founding Director of Sym Studio and a registered Landscape Architect with over 25 years of experience across Australia and the United States.

His practice spans the full range of landscape scales — from state-significant urban masterplans to intimate private garden spaces — with deep expertise in development documentation, planning approvals, and specialist environments including aged care and learning facilities.

Conrad has served as an expert witness in the NSW Land and Environment Court, a role that reflects the technical rigour and planning credibility that underpins Sym Studio’s documentation practice.

Prior to establishing Sym Studio in 2009, Conrad held senior design positions with international firms including EDAW (AECOM) and Place Design Group, where he developed expertise in integrated multidisciplinary project delivery at scale.

He is a prequalified Design Excellence service provider with the NSW Government Architect and an active member of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects.

Conrad lives with his family on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, where he is an active member of the local community, a surf lifesaver at Bilgola Beach, and a passionate advocate for the role of landscape in human health and wellbeing.
