I am a licensed and insured Landscape Architect and professional consultant, providing distinctive landscape architectural and lifestyle design solutions for a wide range of clients. Rooted in the vibrant, subtropical setting of Southeast Louisiana, I bring nearly 30 years of experience that extends far beyond state lines—serving clients throughout Louisiana, across North America, and beyond. My work is grounded in delivering environmentally responsible, visually compelling, and budget-conscious landscape solutions. From residential yards to commercial, institutional, and municipal developments, I blend creative vision with practical, real-world expertise to ensure each design is both functional and financially feasible. Popular services include residential design for homeowners and contractors, consulting for developers, permit-ready drawings for business owners, and big-picture visioning for public and private projects alike. Through the years, I’ve built trusted relationships with skilled contractors and suppliers, streamlining the path from concept to completion and helping you bring your outdoor environment to life—seamlessly. If you're looking for a landscape that is as thoughtful as it is beautiful, let’s talk. I'm here to be your advocate and partner in making your vision a reality. Let’s get started.
For Contractors
The 'Landscapers Architect'
With decades of experience in the Design/Build industry—and as a licensed landscape contractor myself—I deeply understand the essential role contractors play in bringing great projects to life. I’ve stood in your boots. Unlike many in my profession, I’ve personally built most of what I design. From large-scale plantings to hardscapes, irrigation, drainage, and lighting systems—I’ve dug the holes, laid the pavers, glued the pipes, and wired the lights. That hands-on experience informs every design solution I provide.
​
Wherever you're located, I can deliver thoughtful, buildable designs and high-quality renderings that help you stand out from the competition. I also offer practical guidance and consulting on landscape construction challenges—because I’ve been there. I'm on your team—your architect—at a fraction of the cost of hiring someone full time.
For Homeowners
For homeowners seeking to improve and enhance their surroundings, I offer a personalized approach to crafting dreamscapes that perfectly align with your vision and lifestyle. I call it Lifestyle Design. My meticulous attention to detail ensures that every element - from vibrant plantings to exquisite hardscapes - harmonizes seamlessly, resulting in a place of functionality, tranquility and beauty.
​
I will work with you to develop your ideal landscape or garden solution and act as your personal advocate at all times. I am happy to work with your own contractor or provide references to many reputable contractors that I have a solid working relationship with.

For Developers
Unlock your project's potential with my expertise in project visioning.
