Work—

I love that no two gardens are ever quite the same. Each project is shaped by the people who live there, the character of the property, and the way the space is meant to be used. This collection offers a glimpse of my work, from intimate courtyards and city gardens to larger woodland and waterfront landscapes. Each has its own ideas, challenges, and opportunities, and reflects the collaboration that brought it all together.
