I focus on ecological planting design, grading, and practical solutions shaped by your goals and the realities of the site.

Good design isn’t magic—it’s the result of clear goals, real constraints, and hard work. I bring decades of hands-on experience as a professional gardener, from tree planting and patio construction to site surveys and drafting. I hold a master’s degree from the Conway School in Northampton, MA.
