I am a Certified Landscape Designer based in Simcoe County. I bring to the table over two decades of experience in design experience including almost 10 years in the training and teaching of other landscape professionals and students across North America.
I have worked with small design firms, in garden centers and finally have been a freelance designer for the past 10 years. Having grown up in the landscape industry, I have a firm knowledge of the practices and principles of many aspects of the industry and bring this to the forefront of all my projects. I involve my clients in the process, having them create needs and wants lists, providing me photos of ideas they like, and taking walk through their neighbourhood to search for inspiration. Involving all members of the family is important, even the smallest members of the family can have BIG ideas!
My plant knowledge is extensive and I'm never afraid to research what I don't know. I am always attending workshops and seminars provided by suppliers and our provincial landscape association to broaden my skills. I believe by broadening my skills I can offer my clients a better product.
I offer all my drawings as a CAD based drawing. By creating CAD based drawing, this allows for quick and easy revisions and an easy platform for communicating and sharing files electronically both with my client and other professionals. In addition to landscape plans - details, material lists and plant information are included in the proposal as required.
Let's chat about your project and create an outdoor living space that is truly reflective of you and your family!
Look forward to working with you.
