I joined SEW in 2021 after completing my master’s and undergraduate degrees at the University of Sheffield. With a background rooted in ecology and urban design, I love to see how nature and people can be connected in sustainable and innovative ways.

Part of my master’s degree focused on landscape-led housing development which looks at the structural origins of climate change and how design can nudge people towards ‘pro-environmental’ behaviours; providing opportunities to engage actively to diminish their environmental impact.

When I’m not creating excellent landscape diagrams you can find me playing nerdy card games with my friends or at the gym hogging the bench press.
