bio

Creative landscaper, who belives in sustainability and environmentally sound landscaping practices. Since 2018, I’ve owned a successful small design firm in New York City, focused on the design and installation of native gardens. With over 10 years of experience in design, management, installation and maintenance, I have the experience to breathe life into any space in a creative and sustainable way.

The following selection of works contain 3D renderings and sketches of work that I’ve designed, installed and maintained over the years. Also, included is my resume that will lay out my experiences over the last 6 years.

Thank you
