sediments | curriculum vitae
Perpetual student.
A diverse background in natural sciences, finance and real estate, sediments that shaped my path to landscape architecture. I prefer operating in the messy middle or forward edge, integrating analytics, creative thought, theory, veneration of nature and context to understand the data and relationships that inform design.
