Intentions

Lead with Land.

Every place has its own intelligence. Begin with what’s already there.

Design with Time.

Design for decades. Materials, systems, and planting that evolve beautifully.

Honor People + Place.

Resilient design comes from listening—to the land, and to those who care for it.

Plant Intelligently.

Native, climate-adapted, low-input. Planting is story, structure, and system.

Teach Practice.

In the studio or classroom, center inquiry, process, and clarity of intention.

Shape Futures through Sites.

Work toward long-term ecological and social outcomes—one place at a time.
