As a principal landscape architect and urban designer, I bring a holistic approach that integrates the natural and built environment to create sustainable, people-focused places. My experience spans a wide range of projects, from large-scale master planning and urban design frameworks to detailed design and construction supervision. I have advised central government, councils, community groups, and private developers, delivering solutions that balance vision with practicality.
I offer specialist expertise in subdivision design, structure planning, and the master planning of residential, industrial, and commercial developments. My skills extend to urban design advice, stakeholder engagement and facilitation, and the detailed design of public realm projects. In addition, I am experienced in project management and contract administration, ensuring design intent is carried through to delivery. With a passion for both hand drawing and digital graphics, I use these tools to develop compelling design concepts and communicate ideas effectively to diverse audiences.
Prior to joining Boffa Miskell in 2007, I ran my own consulting business in South Africa.
