My enjoyment of gardening began as a quiet creative outlet and grew into a passion. I’m happiest outdoors, hands in the soil, creating spaces that feel calm, welcoming, and alive with color.

I design gardens with intention—balancing structure and softness, vibrant blooms and seasonal interest, all while ensuring upkeep is simple and realistic. My favorite part of the process is getting to know the people behind each home. Understanding your style, your routines, and what brings you joy allows me to create a garden that feels personal, harmonious, and entirely yours.

My path to garden design is a unique one. Before founding Garden Glow Up, I spent two decades as a medical anthropologist researching how environment shapes people’s lives, working in communities across the U.S. and around the world. That work taught me how to listen deeply, notice details, and understand what helps people truly thrive.

Today, I bring that same care and curiosity to every garden I design.

My goal is simple: to create outdoor spaces that feel beautiful, thoughtful, and joyfully you.
