Biography

I’m a landscape architect with a Master’s from Cal Poly Pomona and over 30 years of international experience designing medium to large-scale private estates. As a third-generation landscape professional, design and nature have always been central to my life. Driven by a passion to give back, I co-founded Flourish Garden, an inspirational design app on Apple Vision Pro, helping people create their own gardens with confidence and creativity. Beyond landscape design, I’m expanding my social media presence, refining my writing and speaking skills, and sharing my expertise with a wider audience. Originally from California, I now live in Sweden with my husband, drawing inspiration from its landscapes while developing integrated garden designs that promote sustainability, biodiversity, and resilience.

Additional Interests

I’m passionate about gardening, hiking, and nature, which inspire my creativity. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, watercolor painting, reading, golf, and community involvement. Currently, I’m developing an integrated garden design that combines ornamental plants, herbs, and vegetables into a self-sustaining ecosystem. This approach: 🌿 Attracts pollinators while deterring pests. 🦌 Keeps deer and rabbits away while preserving natural corridors. 🌾 Suppresses weeds while improving soil health. By working with nature, I strive to create gardens that are both beautiful and resilient, where biodiversity and sustainability thrive effortlessly.
