ABOUT ME LANDSCAPE DESIGNER
I’m a landscape designer passionate about sustainable planning and design. I believe in tailoring designs to suit each unique location and users, while leveraging design challenges into innovative concepts. Drawing from my public sector background, I adeptly navigate municipal, state, and federal processes. My experience allows me to see the big picture, and to produce designs that provide down-to-earth creative solutions at any scale. My expertise includes GIS mapping, database management, park system planning, downtown planning, public engagement, cultural landscape analysis, and brownfield redevelopment.
