Thank you for the shout-out Premier Building Solutions Inc.! Designing this project and seeing it brought to life through such thoughtful craftsmanship was a real joy. So fun collaborating with you on this one—and incredibly grateful to clients who trusted us and embraced the vision.

We just completed our 2nd annual burn of our homemade prairie! 🔥

Started in 2018, when we stopped mowing and started planting natives. Contracted our first burn in 2025, followed with a seeding of natives to outcompete the cool season grasses.

This year, we'll see what comes up, and adjust accordingly!

During this time, we've already noticed an increase in songbirds, dragonflies, lightening bugs and varieties of bees. And, a pretty big decrease in mosquitoes! 🍀

Stay tuned for updates as this season progresses...

And Happy 2nd week of World Landscape Architecture month!

I’m truly honored to be featured in Canvas Rebel Magazine! 💚

Sharing company with the entrepreneurs and creatives they spotlight is such a meaningful highlight of my career.

To my family, teachers, bosses, mentors, clients, colleagues, and friends—I’m so grateful. You’re a part of this story too 💚💚💚

Every day, I strive to “make room for love,” and getting to do that through the lens of landscape architecture is the most fun I could imagine.

What a beautiful way to kick off World Landscape Architecture Month! 🌿

Had fun exploring and learning today with Tiffany of ! So fun to “walk around” two projects, that I currently have on the drawing boards. I usually have to wait for construction to see this part. What a fantastic offering for my current and future clients!
