Additional Information

Throughout my nine years as a landscape architect, my portfolio has evolved across a spectrum of projects, encompassing everything from intimate residential landscapes to expansive developments covering up to 120 sqkms. My expertise spans a suite of tools, including AutoCAD, Photoshop, SketchUp, Lumion, basic proficiency in Arch GIS, and Revit, enabling me to meet and exceed client expectations, even in high-pressure environments.

What sets my work apart is my dedication to infusing sustainability and a deep appreciation for nature into every project. I've cultivated green spaces that harmonize with their surroundings, utilizing innovative techniques to maximize ecological benefits while meeting design objectives. Whether integrating native plant species, implementing efficient water management systems, or advocating for renewable materials, sustainability remains a cornerstone of my practice.

My experience extends beyond design; it encompasses a profound understanding of how to navigate the delicate balance between human needs and preserving natural ecosystems. Collaborating with both public and private sectors has provided me with a unique perspective on tailoring solutions that not only meet client needs but also respect and enhance the natural environment.

Working across diverse projects has refined my ability to adapt strategies to the nuances of each landscape, ensuring that sustainability remains integral at every stage. From concept development to execution, I prioritize solutions that embrace nature, contributing to both the aesthetic appeal and environmental resilience of every project.
