ABOUT ME I have had a strong contact with the natural world since childhood. I grow up in the beautiful Sardinia countryside, and from very young age I was helping in my family land. With my background in media and communication and with my work experience in gardening, I realised that I needed to find the connection with the two. In December 2017 I finish the Diploma in Garden Design at KLC School of Design in Chelsea. I am looking to work in a studio where I could learn more about Landscape Design and improve my skills. I am a nice fun and friendly person. I am honest and punctual, I work well in a team but also on my own as I like to set myself goals which I will achieve, I have good listening and communication skills. I have a creative mind and am always up for new challenges. I am well organized and always plan ahead to make sure I manage my time well.

Project 01 - Miller Williams Project The clients are Annabel and Gary and their children Esme (14), John(12), Lucy (10) and new puppy, Maggie. Annabel and Gary have lived here for 8 years and have recently extended the back of the house to include a larger kitchen dining area with large glass sliding doors and a home office with picture window, through which the garden is viewed. Annabel is a Training Consultant and Gary works as a Business Development Consultant so both of them spend part of their working week using the new home office and looking out at the garden. This space is also used in the evenings by the children doing their homework. The garden backs on to a second world war bomb site, now a woodland, called ‘The Wilderness’, which local schools use as an outdoor classroom and resource. The family would like a garden that fits with the surroundings and their new interiors but makes much better use of the space and is a sociable-garden where all the family, friends and dog can relax together.

Project 02 - Conceptual Garden The aim is to reflect controversial, challenging theme like The Mediterranean Migrant Crisis. The Mediterranean is now considered the world’s most hazardous sea route in use by migrants and refugees. Recent years have been marked by a number of serious incidents, where boats have capsized and sunk, tragically claiming the lives of hundreds of so-called boat migrants. In 2014, some 219,000 migrants and refugees attempted to make their way across the Mediterranean, with more than 3,500 lives lost en route (UNHCR, 2015b). No requirements of the garden. A window on the Mediterranean Sea it’s an installation that can be moved and install anywhere in the world. It represents a refugee itself. The character/ atmosphere of the garden its provocative, Tragic, Terrible, frustrating, critical condemning, powerless.

Project 03 - The Gunnersburry Triangle
A green oasis created by intersecting railway lines saved from development and managed for wildlife and people. I wanted to design an entrance that could be seen from far and that wouldn’t be missed. At the same time, I had to create a parking space for two minibuses. I decided to open up the entrance following the idea of a been part and not APART. To be part of the community, be part of the changing area, part of the road.

In architectural terminology it refers to a subsidiary building that is either positioned separately or as an attachment to a main building. Often its function makes it an object of pleasure.

Project 04 - The Mulberry Centre The aim of the Centre is to deliver a range of information and support services to all people affected by a diagnosis of cancer. The Centre itself is like an oasis, calm and peaceful. My Design concept comes to the exploration of the 5 senses and how they can stimulate positive thoughts through the planting scheme.

Project 05 - Pullman Court Pullman Court is a privately owned, modernist residential estate in Streatham Hill, south London. It is comprised of 218 flats that range from purpose-built studios to two-bedroom mansion flats. Pullman Court was designed in 1933 by Frederick Gibberd, a renowned British modernist architect. One of my Interventions consists in adding a concrete path in both sides of the building facing each other, including concrete sitting areas and lights that can illuminate the path in the night. The path will run from the entrance to the main area, where the main intervention will be done., a concrete Square or Piazza surrounded by evergreen plant and customize metal frames pergolas.
