As a landscape designer + gardener, I specialize in creating natural habitats, working with
water-wise landscaping techniques, and design dry gardens with native & companion plants suited to their environment.  I also implement 'Forest Gardening', the practice of layering plantings. This enhances biodiversity and provides more sustainable gardens for clients
who want grow fruit trees, beneficial aromatics & vegetables. I focus on keeping in tune with nature & our changing climate, with a concentration in Mediterranean climates zones. 

From a seed of an idea in 2009, I founded a successful landscape design & build firm in San Francisco, California. It grew into a flourishing business encompassing garden design, install & maintenance, vertical gardens for rooftops terraces, patios and more. Other services included interior home greening, seasonal floral arranging & greening for events, as well as  signature pottery line and other garden decor products. I sold my business in 2022 to relocate to the Alentejo region of Portugal  & start this new chapter.  With over 20 years of experience, I now offer clients tailored services for planning, designing, and managing the vision for your outdoor living environment.
