My lifelong passion for food culminated in an undergrad in Food Sciences. During this time, I owned and operated a small urban farm supplying vegetables to a local farm-tofork - facilitating the development of skills my undergrad wasn't able. Agriculture brought me to history, culture, design and sustainability.
Wanting to contribute to the world in a positive, tangible way - that both draws on my skillset and compliments my thirst for creative expression - I found Landscape Architecture.

Working with Seattle's Mithūn, to untangle complex realtionships of Harm and Home, we renvisioned a future that saw Boeing gradual exodus for Southpark, Seattle. Openning vast swaths of post-industrial land to remedaition and releasing the Duwamish from the channelization that extirpated some 97% of its wildlife habitat.

Leading a team facilitating Susan Herrignton & Mariana Brussoni's double-blind experiment to determine the efficacy of risky and "wild" play elements on behavioural development we devized a fun and widely implementable loose-part play element slated to be studied and expanded to other local childcare centres.
The Puzzle Blocks became the centre piece of our intervention and sought after by Early Childhood Educators across the study.

Manipulating topography we elicit Vancouver's False Creek, the body from which East Park was taken. Undualting earthen waveforms, and material typologies provide wayfinding, accoustic amplification, areas of play and ultimately provides Olympic Village with functional greenspace, and opportunities to access False Creek that is sorely lacking.

From preliminary sketches to rendered views I explore how cities of the future might offer a multisensorial experience. With the provision of olfactory-stimulating structures, audible watercourses, naturalistic forest planting and site architecture that plays with light – the park immerses the user in sensuous experience.

In my final work as a Master's student, I explore the untangling of landscape architecture's relationship with systems of harm through the evocation of ancestral epistemologies of global origin. In doing so, I reimagine Burnaby Mountain petroleum infrastructure as post-industrial seral landscape in the wake of 'The Big One'.
