Commissioned Writing

I write essays, profiles, interviews and other non-fiction for publications, organisations and institutions. My writing sits at the intersection of landscape, ecology, culture and philosophy. It is shaped by a long-standing obsession with finding language that gets closer to the complexity and liveliness of the living world.

Editorial Consultancy

I work with landscape architecture practices, environmental organisations and cultural institutions who need someone who can think and write about place and landscape with design intelligence, poetic sensibility and research depth.

As founding editor of Wonderground and The Planthunter I've built digital and print publications from the ground up, shaping a clear and impactful editorial vision for a growing global audience.

Drawing on these skills and experience, I work with organisations and practices who have something to say, and who want to say it well. This might look like: developing publishing concepts and editorial strategy, commissioning and editing writers, and overseeing design and production — from seed to garden.

Landscape Design & Research

I have been involved in landscape architecture – as a designer, researcher and commentator – for two decades. The more I practice, the more questions I gather: about design methods and processes, about the relationship between language and landscape, about what it means to design ethically in a time of ecological and cultural shakiness.

These questions drive everything. They show up in an experimental garden commission for a private client - hands in the earth, ideas merging with dirt. And they show up when I'm working alongside a landscape architecture practice on concept development, research framing, or the ideas underneath a project. The scale changes; the questions don't.
