'What man is a man that does not make the world a better place". [quote from 'Kingdom of Heaven' ] 

 

My passion in landscape design is to make the world a better place by creating innovative outdoor spaces that are vibrant, functional and healthy for the environment. I love working with textures, colour and a variety of materials to create a meaningful experience for the client/user.
