Landscape architects are storytellers.
My passion for research, architecture and history deeply influences my designs, inspiring me to create spaces that resonate with their cultural context. I enjoy working on the edges of landscapes, that lie at the crossroads of natural design, human use and social connections. My approach embraces a layered perspective of time, space, and place, while maintaining a critical and generative outlook.
Open to new garden designs, collaborations, or anything else that pops up in your mind and want to share.
