Built by someone who
understands systems.
Aqua Design Collective was founded by Michael Coutinho, who brings nearly a decade of experience working at the intersection of innovation and complex systems — now applied to the living art of aquascaping.
Each tank is a living system with its own chemistry, biology, and aesthetic logic. Getting it right requires patience, an eye for detail, and genuine care for how all the parts interact. Michael works directly with every client — from the first conversation through ongoing maintenance.
Based in Pittsburgh, he serves offices, hospitality spaces, and homes across the region.
Let's build something worth looking at.
