Contour first
Grading, drainage and movement become the geometry of the design rather than constraints hidden underneath it.

Shape the
living ground.
A landscape architecture portfolio built around terraces, contour lines and tidal movement, translating site, climate and human rhythm into places that feel grown rather than placed.
01
01 / Design approach
Every site
has a tide.
I design landscapes by reading what is already moving: water, shade, soil, seasons, circulation and the everyday patterns of people. The result is resilient public realm with a strong sense of place.
Plant as structure
Plant communities create shade, enclosure, biodiversity and seasonal identity, not just decorative planting beds.
Water belongs
Stormwater becomes visible infrastructure: slowing, filtering, storing and enriching the public experience.
02 / Selected landscapes
Projects that
change the ground.
A sample body of work spanning civic landscapes, ecological regeneration and climate-responsive urban spaces.
01 · Civic landscape
Riverstep Commons
A flood-adaptive waterfront park that turns seasonal water movement into a sequence of terraces, wetlands and civic gathering spaces.
02 · Urban regeneration
Terrace Yards
A former industrial parcel reworked into a productive landscape of courtyards, rain gardens, edible planting and shaded pedestrian routes.
03 · Climate landscape
Saltline Garden
A coastal public landscape using salt-tolerant planting, porous paths and dune-like landforms to make climate adaptation experiential.
03
03 / Expertise
A toolkit for
living systems.
From early site reading to detailed landscape systems, I connect spatial design with ecology, water and long-term stewardship.

04 / Working method
Read. Shape.
Grow.
A clear four-stage process keeps the design grounded in evidence while leaving room for imagination.
Read
Map hydrology, ecology, movement, memory, materials and seasonal behavior.
Frame
Build a spatial story around the site's strongest natural and civic opportunities.
Detail
Translate the concept into planting, grading, materials, edges and maintenance logic.
Grow
Design for establishment, stewardship and the changing landscape over time.
