A California-licensed landscape architect, PLA #5982 and insured, who can join at any phase and stay through construction. I lead the landscape from the first meeting to the last site visit, so your team works with me the whole way. You're never handed off to someone else.
“An astute listener and effective organizer of systems, skillful in alternating between big-picture goals and the precise steps to reach them.”

What I bring
Come in at any phase; go as far as you need
Schematic design through construction documents, permitting and construction administration. The team sets the depth, not a fixed package.
A stamp, and a builder's eye
PLA #5982, plus a C-27 landscape contractor's license from my design-build years, so the drawings are drawn and sequenced the way a contractor reads them. Errors and omissions insurance, with a certificate on request.
LEED AP · Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, University of Oregon
Coordinated with your consultants
Civil, structural and arborist work coordinated sheet to sheet. Where a wall or structure crosses into engineering, I flag it early so the right engineer is brought in.
Code triggers checked early
Grading and drainage, retaining walls, tree protection and the state water ordinance are reviewed before submittal, so the set is ready for plan check.
Your client stays your client.
On team projects the client and the architecture come first, not my name. I stay in the landscape lane and keep each phase clear, and every project page credits the full team.
Quick answers
How late can we bring you in?
Design development or construction documents is normal. Earlier is cheaper: arriving after grading and drainage are fixed means the landscape inherits decisions it can't undo.
Do you work on institutional and multifamily projects, or only gardens?
Both. Senior living and mixed-use communities are in design now, and a downtown pocket park and a community farm were built with Farmscape. See the projects page.
Who owns the drawings?
That's set in the agreement before work starts, along with scope and what each phase includes.
