Background & Experience:
34 years in Design & Landscaping. As a Registered Landscape Architect and Project Manager I have worked extensively with multi-disciplinary design firms, with the last 10 years in residential design. My experience is in Western Regions including Forests and Parks. I have been responsible for all phases of the planning and landscape improvements including Client Services Manager, Landscape Design, Irrigation Design, Estimating and Construction Oversight. As a creative and progressive designer I have developed inspiring project concepts incorporating such features as water elements, decks, lighting, drainage management, xeriscape planting, recreation equipment, walls and hardscape, paths and patios.

A typical workday looks like:
A mix of site visits with clients, our team and suppliers, design development at the computer, research to include new trends and materials in the industry and coordinating with clients obtain the project they want and can afford.
What's the most inspiring part of your job:
I really enjoy introducing clients to options they had not thought of and guiding them through the whole process.
If I weren't so damn good at my job, I'd probably be:
