Your personal guide to a sustainable green space

Growing up on the Westside of Chicago, surrounded by vacant lots and greenspaces filled with weeds, I often wondered about the reasons behind the neglect. It wasn’t until my time at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, where I pursued a Bachelor’s of Science in Sustainable Design, that I began to unravel the importance of greenspace. My studies in Conceptual and Architectural Design shed light on the profound impact of green environments on mental health.

Armed with newfound knowledge and a deep-seated passion for sustainable design, I set out to elevate my skills in landscape design, installation, and maintenance after graduation. My goal is to bridge the gap between urban environments and the natural world, providing a service that not only enhances outdoor aesthetics but also contributes positively to the environment.

Today, I am dedicated to taking your outdoor spaces to the next level. Through refined landscape design techniques and sustainable practices, I aim to create environments that serve as havens of clarity and rejuvenation. I believe that everyone deserves a connection to the outdoors—a space where the anticipation of the next season’s blooms becomes a source of joy and inspiration. Let’s embark on a journey to transform your surroundings into a flourishing testament to the beauty of sustainable, green living.
