My work reflects my clients’ passions, as well as my own.

OUTDOORS

Good Shepherd Services, Brooklyn, NY
Project:  Design of all outdoor spaces for the South Brooklyn Community High School. This project was funded by High Water Women, a foundation of women in the hedge fund industry, dedicated to bettering the lives of
women and children.

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Cape Town, South Africa
Project:  Redesign of the endemic African salvia and Cape Peninsula plants beds.

Orchid House at Templeton Estate, Old Westbury, NY
It was wonderful to have cared for C.Z. Guest's rare vandas and
dendrobiums, some of which were displayed under vigilant elephant tusks.

Private Residences, New York, NY
Vast amounts of soil provide the ideal setting for gardening. But my favorite green work is in urban environments, which often need it the most. Plants thriving atop concrete-and-steel towers transform terraces into oases.

 

 

INDOORS

PORTS 1961
For the re-branding of this fashion label I explored the style of 1960s travel and the most recent collections designed by the label's creative director, Tia Chibani. Her felts and brocades cut with simple lines, inspired this new logo that is classic and young.

Carnet Travel
To launch its luxury online city guides, Carnet approached me to produce a printed "passport" to the most important venues for arts, shopping, nightlife, etc., included free with the guide's subscription. All city guides are edited by a fictional character named Eva, who gives subscribers up-to-the-minute insider information...

dVider, New York, NY
Project:  A series of modern botanical illustrations applied as stencils
in flock or vinyl on white cotton room dividers. When Emma Robson,
the Johannesburg-born creator of dVider, comissioned the illustrations,
she asked me to translate the "beauty of South Africa"
into shapes of light and shadows. See one of my stencils featured in
The New York Times, HOUSE & HOME section.
