My Journey

After earning a Master’s Degree in Television Production and accumulating over ten years of experience as a cameraman in the television industry, I decided to pursue my passion for garden design. I began my studies at Capel Manor, where I learned fundamental design principles and essential horticultural knowledge and obtained a Design Diploma and my RHS Level 2 Certificate in the Principles and Practices of Horticulture. 

I then continued my education at the esteemed London College of Garden Design at Kew Gardens, where I graduated with distinction in 2016. 

With over seven years of experience working alongside leading designers and design firms, I have gained invaluable on-site and studio expertise, fuelling my creativity and collaborating with fellow designers. Recently, I proudly established my design practice. 

I create bold designs infused with a strong geometric sensibility, enhanced by harmonious planting that elegantly connects indoor and outdoor spaces. I believe gardens should be as inviting and liveable as our homes, transforming outdoor areas into extensions of our living spaces.

I am currently a pre-registered member of the Society of Garden Designers and am based in South East London, but I am excited to take on work across the UK. If you want to create a stunning garden, let's work together! Please reach out using the contact form, and I’ll get back to you promptly.
