Design Philosophy

My approach to garden design blends creativity with practical problem-solving, finding innovative ways to reinvent your outside space, to create gardens that will stand the test of time and bring pleasure.

What drives me is understanding how people want to connect with their gardens. From my base in Buckinghamshire, I work with clients who are looking to create spaces that reflect their values, homes and lifestyles. I spend time getting to know you so that I can successfully translate your vision into something personal and enduring.

Since starting my design practice in 2008, I have worked with clients on gardens of all shapes and sizes. This has allowed me to build an in-depth understanding of the opportunities that large, complex gardens can present, as well as the unique design challenges of smaller outdoor spaces. What all these projects have in common is an approach that isn’t just about planting or paving. It’s about creating experiences. I want my clients to feel inspired, connected to nature and their surroundings, and to what matters most to them.

Many clients aren't sure how to make the most of their outdoor space or where to begin. I will guide you through those first steps, helping you uncover possibilities you may not even have considered. Through thoughtful planning, expert insight, and a clear design process, I turn ideas into reality, creating gardens that feel effortless yet extraordinary.

So, if you're looking to reimagine your garden, breathe new life into a neglected space, or create something bespoke, I’d love to discuss your wish-list and work with you to create something truly beautiful.
