ABOUT ME WORK EXAMPLES

LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Landscape Design

With a passion to positively impact our communities through strategic design, I aim to promote exploration and interaction within the spaces around us, while preserving and restoring the natural systems. I apply what I've learned from my academic and professional experience to perform site assessment, develop and refine design concepts, provide technical drawings, and visually communicate ideas to partners, clients and the public. I have a strong interest in working towards strategizing and implementing creative solutions to complex issues in our urban environments including ecosystem restoration, site remediation and placemaking, with a focus on equity and participatory design.
