What drew you to this role and what got you started in this field?

I grew up gardening with my Dad. My favorite pastime was spending hours wandering our local nursery together. The majority of my childhood was spent outside.

I earned my first degree in visual arts from the University of Washington. After years of searching for my true passon, I finally decided to combine my art background with landscape design. This allows me to use my creativity in a new way. Getting to work outside for a living is a dream come true.

I have a certificate in landscape horticulture from South Seattle College and I use to work as a landscape design assistant/freelance designer in West Seattle. Since my time working as a greenhouse assistant, my continued curiousity for plants has grown. It’s an honor to work for a women-led company that understands the importance of native plants and regenerative landscaping.

Name three word that describe you.
