🌿 I'll design your unique,🦎 biodiverse garden, in any style, wherever you are in the world 🌍.
I believe that any space can be a garden, and that all gardens should be a habitat for biodiversity.
This is my story ...
Ever since I was a child, growing up surrounded by nature, I've had a love of botany and been fascinated by the structural forms and systems of plants, and by the magical geometry of fractals found in living structures.
biomimetic 🌿
So when I studied architecture at the University of the Witwatersrand, my designs were informed by my love of botany. Here I discovered the aesthetics of 'organic architecture', and biomorphic shapes inspired by natural forms. At that time I also realized the importance of 'green' architecture, and set out to demonstrate that botanical forms and systems could teach us how to create sustainable buildings through biomimetic design. Inspired by the bioclimatic skyscrapers of architect Ken Yeang, I combined architecture and greenery in my project 'The Inside‑out Glasshouse' which I presented at the Holcim Forum for Sustainable Construction in 2007.
biodiverse 🦎
My interest in 'hortitecture' grew to include not just individual buildings, but the whole of the built environment, urban greening and 'eco master planning'. My vision is of whole cities where green spaces are stitched together to form one continuous living habitat through which we, and other forms of life, can move safely and freely.
I believe that any space can be a garden, and that all gardens should be a habitat for biodiversity. I wanted to create wildlife gardens and green spaces everywhere, so I went on to study at The School of Garden Design, South Africa's oldest private garden design school.
biophilic 💚
As someone who is on the autism spectrum, I'm fascinated by psychology. We humans are part of this landscape of biodiversity, and I believe that all human habitats should have an element which is green and alive, and supports our symbiotic connections with other forms of life. This is vital to our mental and physical wellbeing. My mission is to create unique garden spaces, inspired by the geometry of nature, that support biodiversity and wellness.
