  • CONSULTANT
  • AMBASSADOR

Landscape designer and permaculture consultant. I use latest technology to create highly detailed plans and estimations. Drone mapping, GIS software, digital hand drawing, planting plans & 3d visuals

I’m excited to share with you my passion for building community resilience through growing our own food and connecting with nature. Over the last 10 years I have been studying, practising & teaching permaculture throughout Australia & internationally. Over this time I have constantly continued to learn about all aspects of regenerative land practices including broad acre regenerative farming, biodynamics, syntropics, market gardening, bio-intensive & nutrient-dense gardening. I am particularly drawn to edible & functional tropical perennial plants. I enjoy growing, harvesting & cooking with them.

I have background in multimedia and I have brought this knowledge of digital design and merged it with my permaculture training to produce highly detailed and accurate landscape plans. Using software such as Adobe, Sketchup, Vectorworks, QGIS & Twinmotion.
