For 40 years, I have provided careful, focused solutions for landscape architecture projects varying in size, location, and program. Each design and installation merges to create areas that inspire and teach, resulting in a discourse between nature and architecture. My ultimate goal is to create seamless transitions between hard and soft elements, providing a sense of ground and purpose.
