Landscape Designer


As a Santa Barbara based landscape designer, I incorporate my interests in art, design, and horticulture in all of my projects. These interests are the foundations of my career in landscape design. While earning my BFA in sculpture at California State University Long Beach, I explored themes of the human relationship with the outdoor world, particularly the ways in which humans have worked with nature to create a built-world . After graduating, I studied permaculture, and then horticulture at Santa Barbara City College. (where I am now a faculty member teaching Landscape Drafting). I am a licensed landscape contractor, an EPA-certified Water Wise designer, certified permaculture designer, and certified Green Gardener. I also have the privilege of serving on the board of the Central Coast Green Building Council. Today, I use my skills as an artist and my knowledge of horticulture to create beautiful, functional, and sustainable outdoor spaces.
