Each project begins with a close understanding of the client, the house and the surrounding landscape. My design process is personal and considered, creating gardens that respond to place with sensitivity while reflecting how you want to live, entertain and spend time outdoors.

The aim is always to deliver a garden that feels both distinctive and enduring — elegant in its overall vision, yet practical in how it works every day. Throughout the process, I work closely with clients to ensure the journey feels clear, collaborative and reassuring from first ideas through to completion.

Planting design is one of the most personal parts of my work, bringing together a long-standing passion for plants with an understanding of how they evoke emotion, bring texture, form and structure along with seasonal interest to a garden. I enjoy working across a range of styles, from formal and architectural planting to softer, more natural schemes and Mediterranean-inspired gardens, always responding to the setting and the way you want the space to feel.

Alongside aesthetics, I place real importance on sustainability, biodiversity and planting that will thrive over time. Each scheme is carefully considered to balance visual impact with resilience and ecological value, and for clients looking specifically for help with planting, this service can be commissioned as a standalone option.

Protecting and enhancing natural habitats is a part of the work I care deeply about, with a strong focus on creating landscapes that actively support biodiversity and reconnect people with nature. My approach combines naturalistic planting with ecological thinking, shaping spaces that feel beautiful, resilient and valuable for wildlife as well as the people using them.

This service can support private clients, developers, architects, local authorities and businesses looking to create more nature-led landscapes, from biodiversity-focused gardens to wider outdoor spaces with clear environmental value. It can also extend to educational and wellbeing-focused resources for workplace teams, helping organisations build stronger connections with nature through considered design and practical engagement.

Collaborative design support offers a flexible way to bring additional design input, drawing capability and project support into an existing team. I enjoy working alongside garden designers, landscape practices, architects and wider project teams, contributing where needed across concept development, masterplanning, 2D and 3D graphics, planting input and presentation material.

Whether the requirement is freelance support for a defined package of drawings or broader project-based involvement, the approach is adaptable to the needs of the studio or project. Support can be provided on a day-rate or fixed-fee basis, offering a practical and collaborative way to strengthen design capacity at different stages of a project.
