Some gardens are designed to impress. The gardens I'm drawn to are designed to be lived in — slowly, attentively, and with an eye on what endures.

If you're looking for someone to help you chase the latest trend, I'm probably not your designer. But if you want a garden that feels like an extension of who you are — somewhere that rewards quiet attention, changes with the seasons, and genuinely belongs to its place — then we might be a very good fit.

I grew up in rural Kent, where the landscape wasn't something you visited, it was something you moved through. That early, unhurried relationship with nature — the wildness of it, the freedom of it — has shaped everything I do. Living in London as an adult taught me something different but complementary: how resilient nature is, how biodiversity can take hold in disrupted, unexpected places, and how much a garden can give when it's in creative hands.

My background is a little unconventional for a garden designer, and I think that's a strength. I trained at the Royal College of Art, where I developed a design language built on restraint and story — minimal in form, rich in meaning. I went on to work as a theatre designer, where I learned how space, atmosphere and detail can hold a narrative. When I turned that sensibility towards gardens, something clicked.

 Horticulture began as a deepening of a personal passion and became a professional obsession — specifically with the conversation between garden design and planting: how structure and wildness, architecture and ecology, can work together rather than against each other. I've continued that learning formally through RHS Level 2 Horticulture, a Garden Design Diploma at Capel Manor, and Certificates in Construction and Sustainable Design at the London College of Garden Design. I also work as a practising gardener alongside my design studio, which keeps me close to the real, seasonal life of plants.

 I'm a pre-registered member of the Society of Garden Designers and co-winner of the SGD Awards 2025 'Big Ideas, Small Budget' category — recognition that thoughtful design doesn't require an unlimited budget, just careful thinking and a clear vision.

 The clients I work best with tend to value the same things I do: nature, slowness, depth over novelty, and a relationship built on mutual respect. If that sounds like you, I'd love to hear about your garden.
