From an early age, I’ve been intrigued by how spaces shape our emotions—how a towering building can evoke awe or a quiet courtyard can provide a moment of peace. This fascination led me to pursue architecture, where I developed a strong foundation in design. But I was increasingly drawn to the spaces in between—the landscapes that connect, soften, and bring life to the built world. This discovery naturally led me to landscape architecture, where I’ve had the opportunity to create environments that foster meaningful connections between people and nature in a thoughtful and sustainable way.
With over ten years of experience in Landscape Architecture, I’ve worked on a variety of project types, collaborating closely with multidisciplinary teams from concept to construction documentation. My focus on holistic, resilient design drives me to create landscapes that are not only functional but also inspire and engage the people who experience them. I am particularly passionate about blurring the lines between artful development and natural landscapes, crafting spaces where both elements coexist and enhance each other.
Recognized for my strong work ethic, collaborative nature and commitment to continuous development, I am eager to apply my expertise to meaningful projects that drive innovation and success.

PROJECT SUMMARY
Location: Austin, TX
Size: 2 acres
Status: Completed Awards: Texas ASLA Honor Award- 2022
Block 71 is a vibrant plaza and streetscape project that seamlessly connects a new LEED Platinum mixed-use tower to the historic 1914 post office building, nestled in the heart of downtown Austin. The project integrates a modern landscape with a deep respect for the site’s rich history and its evolving role in the urban fabric of the city.
The design process for Block 71 was shaped by a series of challenges, including historic preservation constraints, multi-level connectivity between buildings and the streetscape, water management on surface and below ground and the preservation of a significant heritage Red Oak.
The design of the plaza caters to both the daily needs of the mixed-use building tenants and large public events, such as concerts and movies in the park. Additionally, the on-structure greenspace efficiently addresses parking requirements in this densely developed area, all while preserving the integrity of the landscape.
The existing heritage Red Oak was carefully preserved as a central feature of the site, symbolizing the connection between the past and present. Thoughtful design and strategic placement ensure that the tree remains a prominent element of the landscape, enriching the space with its historical significance.
This urban infill greenspace showcases native and adaptive plantings, providing a sustainable, heat-mitigating oasis tucked within a bustling downtown urban environment.

The site’s programming was designed to prioritize both functionality and accessibility, ensuring seamless connections between the building, plaza, and surrounding streets. Thoughtfully placed entrances and pedestrian pathways offer easy access from multiple points, fostering engagement from both tenants and the public. The 14’ grade change on the site is addressed through a combination of steps and terraced walls with open lawn space, multiple sloped pathways, less than a 5% slope to avoid the need for handrails to maintain a barrier free, visual connection.

The water harvesting system for this project was designed with sustainability in mind, aiming to efficiently capture and reuse water from both surface and subdrainage sources. The system includes a below-grade stormwater detention system and a large cistern that captures all surface and subdrainage water from the plaza, as well as groundwater within the garage. This water is then reused for irrigation and as a makeup supply for the water feature. By repurposing all captured water, the project ensures that 100% of the irrigation and water feature needs are met with reclaimed water generated and stored on-site. This sustainable approach not only reduces dependency on potable water but also contributes to long-term water conservation, showcasing the project’s commitment to environmental stewardship and resource efficiency.
The historic post office’s new entry, once surrounded by a railed sunken areaway facing an alley and parking garage, was transformed with a spanning glass block bridge system. This design preserved the building’s historical character while providing clear pedestrian access over the areaway, seamlessly integrating the structure with the plaza.

The plaza sits on top of a five-story underground parking garage, and the roof of the garage directly beneath the plaza, was designed to have varying heights. The plaza incorporates seat walls of different heights to address these variations. To visually simplify this, I created a 3D sectional view, clearly illustrating the differences in wall height and color coded the corresponding width and depth of the concrete footings. This detailed section facilitated seamless coordination between the structural team and contractors, ensuring the construction process was both accurate and efficient.

PROJECT SUMMARY
618 Tillery is a mixed-use industrial redevelopment that transforms a warehouse into a dynamic campus. A multi-level landscape weaves through the building’s core, creating a canyon-like microclimate that supports native ferns, sedges, and riparian trees. A linear rain garden and elevated runnel system carry collected roof water from cisterns, while AC condensate nourishes lush plantings below. Shaded by solar panels and tree canopy, the project integrates adaptive reuse with ecological resilience.
At 618 Tillery, the concept of “reuse” extends beyond architecture to water management, utilizing existing cisterns to capture, store, and redistribute roof runoff for irrigation and water feature reuse.
At the core of this system is a 15,000-gallon cistern, strategically positioned to collect and store roof runoff and HVAC condensate. This stored water is then repurposed to support both irrigation and a closed-loop water feature, reducing reliance on potable water.
A dedicated pump system draws water from the cistern and supplies it to a series of steel runnels and sculptural basins, creating a dynamic flow that activates key spaces within the site. Water first emerges at the entry basin, spilling into carefully graded tiered channels that float above the riparian planting and guide the water through the courtyard. Designed to work seamlessly with the site’s topography, the system integrates multi-level sheet flow and rain gardens, allowing excess water to infiltrate naturally or be redirected to the municipal storm system as needed.

CONCEPT PLAN - COURTYARD
The two corner courtyards function as lush garden plazas, providing inviting outdoor environments for work, relaxation, and casual gatherings. Inspired by the natural Texas landscape, these spaces feature organically shaped berms adorned with native plantings, understory trees, and carefully integrated light posts. The berms not only create intimate zones for seating but also introduce topographic variation, enriching the visual and spatial experience. Seating arrangements accommodate groups of varying sizes, with tables for two, four, and six thoughtfully positioned within these green enclaves. The dense planting strategy ensures shade, comfort, and a buffer from the urban surroundings, reinforcing the plazas as verdant retreats within the development.
The intent of the paving layout study for the garden courtyards was to enhance their organic, nature-inspired design while achieving a seamless integration of hardscape and softscape elements.
A 4x4 paving pattern in a circular pattern was explored to create a fluid, dynamic sense of movement. To introduce texture and contrast, two distinct paver colors were selected, each featuring standard and sandblasted finishes—resulting in four pavers. This variation adds depth and visual interest while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.

Status: Completed
Argodesign is an adaptive reuse project which transformed an abandoned church building and dilapidated site into a vibrant indoor - outdoor creative workspace that provides shade, native habitat, and flexible opportunities for gathering.
The landscape design consists of a layered approach, utilizing a diverse palette of native plants. Structural grasses, cascading foliage, and the textured canopy of Palo Verde trees create a rich tapestry of forms and textures. This canopy extends visually from street level to the rooftop terrace, seamlessly blending architecture and landscape. The landscape terracing at the courtyard serves both aesthetic and functional purposes as a seating, viewing, and retaining element.
Improvements to the site include ADA accessible access, a defined entry and site identity, shade via trees and furnishings, flexible gathering spaces, and native plantings that reduce water demand. The grade of the entry terrace lies between street level and building finish floor to create a semi-public space separated from vehicular areas, while providing a seamless accessible entrance and stormwater drainage.
