A little about me

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. It seems obvious now that Landscape Architecture would be the perfect place for me to marry my passions for nature and the land with my affinity for creative and visual design. It took a while to discover the profession, but it’s been 6 years now and I’m consistently happy to support professionals in this field, doing work I believe in.

 

My degree in Multimedia Design and 3D Animation and 10 years as a digital designer allowed me to jump right in with draughting, visualising and problem solving in 3D. At the same time, my paid and volunteer work as a gardener and grower, and training in permaculture design, gave me the insight to understand what I was doing and the interest to learn more.

 

I also occasionally work with architects, as many of the skills are transferrable, and I’m gradually learning more architecture specific processes. I enjoy the aesthetics and practicality of architecture and have a natural affinity with building in wood.

 

Both Landscape Architecture and Architecture are fields with a great potential for positively affecting our relationship with the natural environment and with each other. I’m happy and excited to be part of that work.
