the places that profoundly shaped me are manifold, everywhere, everywhen.

Exploring new places and sharing their stories is at the heart of everything I do.

  • As a landscape architect and communication professional, understanding interactions between different people and their environments is key. My interdisciplinary approach to any project is interscalar and intersectional, combining landscape architectural design and research with effective communication expertise and a desire to explore new perspectives. This allows me to be inquisitive, collaborate with a diverse range of stakeholders, and to process information in nuanced and creative ways.
