DEDICATION
OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
Chris Uhler
Chris has been designing and building outdoor spaces since high school, turning a lifelong passion into Pool Envy Designs—a boutique firm focused on thoughtful design, clear communication, and a smoother build experience in an industry known for delays and average results. He’s hands-on with every project, making sure each backyard feels custom, cohesive, and truly lived in.
When he’s not walking job sites or sketching new concepts, Chris enjoys playing with his daughter and son, hunting, and enjoying trips to Fredericksburg, TX with his wife wine tasting.
Juan Limon
Juan has been managing large-scale construction projects for over a decade—from bridge work to high-end home renovations—before bringing his expertise to Pool Envy Designs. He’s the one orchestrating schedules, trades, and details in the field, making sure every design on paper becomes a finished backyard our clients are proud to show off.
When he’s not bringing our clients’ pools and outdoor spaces to life, Juan enjoys spending time with his wife, daughter, and son. His favorite pastimes are freshwater fishing and playing pool, and as a fun fact—he’s an active aquarist, which probably explains why he’s so particular about water, and the details most people never even notice.
Matt Singer
Matt brings a unique blend of creativity and environmental expertise to Pool Envy Designs. With a B.S. in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences from Texas A&M and professional experience as a wildlife biologist, he developed a strong understanding of how natural spaces function and flow. He now applies that perspective to designing custom pools that feel intentional, balanced, and tailored to each property.
Outside of work, Matt is an avid hunter and fisherman, and his love for the outdoors inspires cohesive designs created for our clients. We’re proud to have him shaping backyard spaces that look incredible and live beautifully.
Kelly Willis
Kelly is the heartbeat of the Pool Envy Designs office, keeping projects, people, and communication running smoothly from the first inquiry to the final walkthrough. She manages the front desk, coordinates calendars, supports our design and construction teams, and makes sure every client question finds a clear, timely answer.
In addition to running the day-to-day operations, Kelly guides clients through scheduling, paperwork, and showroom selections, helping them feel confident and cared for at every step. Her attention to detail, calm presence, and commitment to excellent communication make her a key part of what sets the Pool Envy Designs experience apart.
Outside the office, Kelly’s world revolves around her kids’ activities—football, t-ball, and after-school clubs keep the family on the go. When things slow down, she loves gardening, fishing with the family, and taking walks on the trails around their home.
