About

I qualified as an architect way back in 1990, then added a landscape string to my bow in 2013 and specialise in residential work for clients all over the country. My mantra is “blur the divide between inside and outside” and this is reflected in the materials I work with, the flow of space I create and interior touches that create moments of joy.

I offer empathy and insight, always mindful of the brief but able to expand it in ways my clients may not have expected or anticipated to create a truly special home.

After over 30 years of working on homes and gardens I’m still in love with my job and the creative process.
