About
Creative Responsible Design
Everything is connected.
I design gardens that feel alive. Shaped by the site and how you live, grounded in sustainability, creativity, and care.
Whether you’re working with a compact London courtyard or a spacious country plot, I can help you make the most of your outdoor space through design that feels considered, calm and completely yours - something that creates a legacy that can be enjoyed for years to come.
My work is for Clients who want to understand their garden, make space for nature and who value thoughtful design over quick fixes.
My approach is collaborative and transparent — I take time to understand what you need, how you want to feel, and what will truly work for your lifestyle and the space you have.
I offer design-only services, and can also support you through the build process with trusted landscapers.
I’m accredited by industry leading associations and committed to responsible, biodiversity-led design that benefits both people and planet. Every project is delivered with professionalism, creativity and a genuine passion for getting it right!
For me, garden design is a perfect combination of problem solving, technical understanding and creativity.
I love communicating my ideas to Clients through my drawings and all my work is hand drafted which gives me a real connection to the spaces I work with and the designs I create.

Sustainability Charter
Within my garden design process I endeavour to:
- Prioritise longevity in design over trends
- Prioritising the use of soft landscaping and permeable surface options where possible
- Suggest options to recycle and reuse materials on site
- Consider the sustainability of new materials: Provenance, transportation and carbon calculations and consider alternatives to high input materials where feasible
- 'Right Plant Right Place' approach: Reducing required future inputs and intervention, considering climate change
- To increase biodiversity, accounting for original site conditions
- Encourage the active inclusion of ‘wild’ spaces within gardens to support wildlife and promote a healthy local ecosystem
- Consider the use and cycle of water on site, providing opportunities for collection, recycling and attenuation where possible
Like lots of small businesses I'm trying to make better informed decisions about what I do and how I do it.
It's a work in progress:
Printing less, using online meetings where possible, electricity from renewable sources and educating myself about the bigger picture:
