Landscape architect, nature play designer, artist-builder, garden fanatic, and mom of twins.
Outdoor spaces can invite movement, quiet, curiosity, connection, imagination, and discovery — or they can tell us exactly where to stand and exactly what to do. I am drawn to the first kind. My work brings together landscape architecture, nature play, sensory awareness, creativity, planting, and the practical reality of designing spaces that real families, schools, and communities have to live with every day.
A child does not need every experience designed for them. They need places where they can make choices, test ideas, move their bodies, notice small things, invent games, get muddy, find quiet, build something strange, and change their minds halfway through.
That is what I want a good nature play space to do.
My job is not to control the play. My job is to create the conditions that make richer play possible.
You do not need to arrive with a finished idea. You can come with a messy yard, a strange corner of a playground, twenty saved inspiration photos, one very specific dream, or simply the feeling that the space could be better.
We start with what is there, who uses it, what matters to you, and what the space needs to do. Then we build from there.
