Garden Design
I create gardens for design conscious individuals- Elegant, fun and imaginative spaces, to enjoy the good life in with friends and family.
It's important when you choose a designer that you get the right person for you. I really care about learning who my clients are as individuals, so I can create them a unique, beautiful space under the sky.
Design services I can offer come from two main approaches;
1, I take care of the entire project. Just give me whatever space you have & I'll design and build you the perfect garden from start to finish.
2, You can commission more specific help on a consultancy basis. This ranges from an informal chat, to structural help/ planting plans/ visual concept development/ layout development amongst many other things.
I've worked in design since 2004.
My background and general obsession with design combine with my intuitive understanding of how space and people interact. This gives me the confidence to ask not what 'should' go where, but what 'could' be possible.
Throw me whatever your challenge is and I will run with it, designing something elegant, unique and exciting.
My design journey started in 2004 (BA hons in Textiles for fashion design). After experience overseas I ran my own textiles company for 10yrs, selling collections internationally and collaborating with clients such as Woolmark, Harvey Nichols, Swarovski and The Crafts Council. My book was published in 7 countries and I contributed to many other publications.
I then had 2 children and decided a new challenge was due. Somewhere along the way I realised that my love for design, gardens, craft, projects and people could actually combine as my new direction, Garden design.
Around then I was given a subscription to The English Garden magazine, the first issue had a competition in collaboration with the prestigious Inchbald College of design to win funding to study at the college. I entered, won and graduated in 2019 with distinction. This also gave me the opportunity to work on a Chelsea main avenue show garden.
Since then I have designed and built a whole variety of spaces, I love how each project and client brings a new set of opportunities, challenges and learning experiences. No two days and two gardens are ever the same and it's a fantastic honour to be part of.
