I’m a landscape architect

with a passion for creating spaces that feel genuine, adaptive, and meaningful. My approach to design is rooted in simplicity and collaboration—I see myself not as a traditional designer, but as a mediator of places. I believe the best designs evolve naturally, embracing imperfections and reflecting the values of the people who inhabit them.

Inspired by my early studies in Malaysia, where I was captivated by the tropical landscape and the culture of eating and living outdoors, I’ve always sought to weave authenticity into my work. One of my most profound influences is Ng Seksan, whose philosophy of celebrating mistakes and challenging norms taught me to see design as an ever-evolving process rather than a finished product. During this time, I collaborated with Seksan on the Flood Relief Project, where we designed and constructed a flood-resistant dwelling for a family affected by severe flooding. This project was a defining moment, reinforcing my belief in creating designs that are both practical and deeply integrated with the natural landscape.

With over six years of professional experience, I’ve worked at firms like Stantec, Barton Willmore, and Mott MacDonald, gaining expertise across a diverse range of projects. My work includes large-scale infrastructure planning, residential and community regeneration, and temporary urban spaces. I’ve contributed to projects involving Landscape and Visual Impact Assessments (LVIA), strategic residential landscape designs, and the development of Design Codes and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) strategies. At every stage, I’ve sought to balance technical precision with creative problem-solving, ensuring each design is both functional and resilient.

My current focus is on exploring sustainable and adaptive design solutions, such as integrating temporary features into long-term projects. I’m particularly interested in how landscapes can enhance human well-being while maintaining a balance with the environment.

Beyond my professional work, I’m committed to advocating for healthier, more integrated urban landscapes in Bristol and beyond. Through my blog and design explorations, I aim to inspire conversations about how we can build places that truly connect us to the world around us—without barriers.

If you share a vision for thoughtful, sustainable landscapes, I’d love to connect and explore how we can create something meaningful together.
