There is rarely a perfect solution at the beginning. Through observation, testing and iteration, each project gradually reveals the most appropriate response to its place.

My Design Philosophy

I believe the strongest landscape solutions rarely appear in the first sketch. Every project begins with observation, followed by continuous testing, comparison and refinement. Rather than searching for a single answer, I use research and experimentation to understand how a landscape can respond to environmental, social and technical challenges.

My Approach

Every tool serves a different purpose. Hand sketches capture first impressions, GIS reveals spatial patterns, ENVI-met tests environmental performance, while Rhino and CAD translate ideas into buildable proposals. Together, they support decisions rather than replace design thinking.

What I Deliver

The outcome is more than a final drawing. It is a design process supported by evidence, tested through multiple iterations and communicated through clear technical documentation for real-world implementation.

Every tool helps answer a different design question…….

Understanding people, place and context.

Every project begins with careful observation. Through site visits, sketching, photography, mapping and conversations, I identify the environmental conditions, spatial characteristics and human needs that define a place.

Reveal hidden challenges through research and spatial analysis.

I combine GIS, environmental data and precedent studies to uncover flood risks, microclimate conditions, ecological systems and movement patterns that are not immediately visible on site.

Explore multiple ideas across 2D and 3D.

Rather than accepting the first idea, I test alternative layouts, planting strategies and spatial configurations across sketches, diagrams, physical models and digital simulations to discover the most appropriate response.

Evaluate, compare and refine every design decision.

Design develops through continuous comparison, feedback and testing. Moving repeatedly between 2D drawings, 3D models and environmental simulations helps me improve both spatial quality and technical feasibility.

Translate ideas into buildable landscapes.

The final outcome combines visual communication with technical drawings, planting strategies and construction information, ensuring ideas can move confidently from concept to implementation.

PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE PRACTICE

I approach every project as a continuous process, especial from understanding place through evidence, to developing strategy, technical design, and long-term stewardship. This integrated workflow allows me to contribute across multiple project stages rather than focusing on only one.
