About the Designer

I studied for a diploma in garden design at the English Gardening School, based at the Chelsea Physic Garden in London, graduating with a distinction in 2003. During the course I was a shortlisted as a competition finalist to design the British Memorial garden in Hannover Square, New York.

Before this, I did a degree in Physical Geography at Reading, followed by a PhD, based in Plymouth, researching sediments filling an estuary in South Devon, then worked for a consultancy advising on coastal erosion and most recently worked for British Airways in various roles as programmer, business analyst and project manager designing and building computer systems. (Gaining skills that have been useful in developing this web site and in running a garden design business!)

Keen to return to working with the environment, I undertook a short course in garden design at the University of Kingston which inspired me to do the year long diploma course. I am passionate about greening urban space and creating gardens that are stylish, easy to use and maintain and look good all year. I also love taking photographs of plants, and you'll see some of these on this site.

Most of my garden design work so far has been around West London boroughs including Ealing, Acton, Chiswick, Hammersmith, Fulham and Putney, though I'm happy to work outside of these areas. The gardens on this site have been built by the following: Paul Jenner, Belderbos Landscapes, Kiwi Landscapes and in some cases the client's builders.
