Design PHILOSOPHY

There’s something powerful about a space that feels like it truly belongs to you.

Not just something beautiful but something that reflects how you live, how you gather, how you pause at the end of the day. A place that feels grounding and personal.

My path into landscape design started with a love for the way outdoor spaces can shape how we feel. I have a deep appreciation for spaces that invite you in, slow you down, and make you want to stay a little longer.

I’ve been fortunate to learn from generous mentors who helped me refine both my craft and my perspective. They taught me to pay attention to the details that often go unnoticed the way light moves through a space, how materials age, and how a garden evolves over time. That same care extends to how I approach sustainability, thoughtfully selecting materials, responding to the climate and character of this region, and designing spaces that are meant to thrive, not just exist.

That perspective shapes every project I take on.

This work isn’t just about designing landscapes; it’s about creating a sense of connection. To your home, to nature, and to the moments you want to experience there.

If you’re looking for a space that feels like an extension of you, I’d love to help bring it to life.

I’m ready when you are!

Picture of Amy our co-founder and lead landscape designer for portland oregon. She cares about cut flower gardens, backyard garden designs, front yard landscaping, curbappeal, native plant gardens, sustainable landscaping and much more.

Plants have always been at the center of my life. My dad used to walk me around and quiz me on the names of plants. This is still my favorite thing to do (even on solo walks).

I’ve always seen myself as a bit of a collector—of skills, experiences, and creative interests. I believe we’re all the sum of our parts, and the work we do is shaped by everything we’ve picked up along the way. I have a background in floral design, I’ve grown food and flowers, and now I shape gardens. I’m passionate about creating outdoor spaces that feel good to be in. The beauty that surrounds us helps influence our joy, and I hope to help you create that feeling in your own backyard.
