A Bit About Me
​
I began my landscape career unofficially when I took a job working at Surfing Hydrangea plant nursery in Nantucket MA, in 2001. I spent the next four summers on that island learning about plants and plant installations.
​
After graduating from college, with a degree in fine arts, I moved to San Diego and started working in the maintenance division for The Brickman Group, a national landscape company. I soon transitioned to landscape installations, which is where I started my first designs.
​
Eager to expand into more creative spaces, I left Brickman to work for Green Gardens Landscape & Design, where I designed and installed landscapes in and around the greater San Diego area.
​
Unlike many other designers, my experience in the field gives me a unique perspective at understanding what works on paper and what works in reality. This perspective allows me to better help my clients, and the companies they hire, to complete their installations.
​
I'm passionate about creating unique, functional and beautiful landscapes. I love to build, to get my hands dirty and to create spaces that clients truly enjoy.
