About

I was raised in country Australia, lived and worked interstate & abroad before returning to my beloved hometown of Castlemaine in central Victoria.

As a multipotentialite my interests are diverse and pursuits varied.

I have worked as a landscape architect for most of my career, but it's not all I've done.

Over the last 20+ years I have worked in industries as diverse as mining, real estate and funeral care.

People describe me as reliable, approachable, considered & kind.

Fundamentally I like helping people: collaborating on solutions to problems & bringing ideas to life.

My superpower is wrangling calm from chaos.

I do this by breaking complexities into methodical & manageable steps which might be in the form of a landscape plan or a bookkeeping system.

I like filling my life with experiences, not stuff.

I have a penchant for order: I don't like mess nor wasting time trying to locate things.

I'm a tea drinker, dog lover, pilates enthusiast, kayaker and keen skier.

My business is about designing spaces and helping people establish habits, systems and places for the administration of life.

Lastly, my word for 2023 is: momentum.

momentum

/ˈnəːtʃə/
NOUN
strength or force gained by motion or by a series of events

Like most people I have been constantly reevaluating all things since March 2019. In 2020 I made some very big decision about the direction of my business and my life. In 2022 nurtured the seeds I'd planted to continue to bring my personal and professional ideas to life. In 2023, it's time to gain momentum.
