I am currently a provisional landscape design consultant with the National Garden Club. I travel frequently across the United States to gather design inspiration. My design style emphasizes the harmonious integration of native plants into suburban landscapes, drawing heavily from historic gardening practices, intuitive nature, and inspirations from my travels to create gardens that emphasize biodiversity, sustainability, and ease of maintenance.
At the moment, I offer my design services free of charge to clients who hire me for garden installation and maintenance. For others, I provide design services for a small fee.
