For a better
everyday life outside.

I believe good design can positively change the relationship we have with our gardens.

By taking the time to understand you, your home and how you want to use your outside space, I create characterful gardens that feel personal, practical and completely at home in their surroundings. The result is not just a better looking garden, but a more enjoyable everyday life outside.

About Me

Design outside.

The most loved gardens don’t just look pretty, they improve the way we live. And when a garden has been thoughtfully designed around the people who use it, maintaining it feels like a simple pleasure.

How I Work
View through sliding glass doors of a backyard with a patio, garden, and a black wooden studio. The patio has outdoor seating with cushions, and there are potted plants with purple flowers and lush green bushes around.

A garden for life,
not just for instagram.

I create residential gardens that are bespoke to my clients needs, the architectural qualities of their home and immediate surroundings. From coastal retreats to outdoor rooms, urban roof decks to country house gardens.
