A place for nature friendly, human centred, garden design
I’m a garden designer based in Hurstpierpoint, West Sussex, and working across Sussex. I create thoughtful, natural gardens that feel grounded, considered and connected to their surroundings.
My work is shaped by a long-standing interest in how people and landscapes relate to one another, not just visually, but in how a space feels to spend time in, move through, and return to over the years. I’m particularly drawn to gardens that sit comfortably within their setting, with planting and materials that respond to place rather than compete with it.

Being part of this community for 14 years has shaped the way I design gardens, grounded in local landscapes, seasonal rhythms, and simple, wildlife‑friendly choices that work for real homes. Features like this remind me how much I value the people and places around me.

Alongside garden design, I also collaborate on landscape and habitat-focused projects, working with a wider network of professionals where needed. This includes supporting housing developers, engineers and landowners in integrating landscape design and habitat enhancement into their sites in a way that is both practical and ecologically informed.
Across both areas of work, the approach is consistent: calm, observant and intentional. I take time to understand what’s already there. The character of the space, the conditions, and how it’s used, before shaping a design that feels clear and workable.
Planting is always considered with care, with opportunities to support wildlife and create more resilient, evolving spaces where it makes sense to do so. This isn’t about imposing a particular style, but about working with what’s already present and finding a direction that feels right for the site and the people connected to it.
Whether working with a private garden or as part of a wider project team, the aim is the same, to create spaces that feel settled, purposeful and able to grow into themselves over time.
I live locally in West Sussex and spend much of my time outdoors, which continues to shape how I think about gardens and landscape.
Let’s shape what comes next
If you’re imagining a garden that feels rooted, expressive, and truly yours, I’d love to talk with you about what you’re hoping for and how we might bring it to life.
