About

I’m a San Francisco Bay area designer with more than 5 years of experience creating personal, sustainable gardens. I am a member of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers and I have completed the Landscape Horticulture program at Merritt College. I love designing gardens that suit my clients’ individual tastes and lifestyles–my ultimate goal is to create a personal, welcoming space for each client to enjoy with friends and family. My hand-drawn designs emphasize California natives, drought-tolerant plants, and sustainable practices to produce livable, low-maintenance gardens that echo the natural landscape. Basically, I strive to give each client a garden to use and cherish for years to come.
