I’m so chuffed to have passed my first project towards accreditation with the Society of Garden & Landscape Designers
Before becoming a Garden Designer, I spent almost 30 years in a legal career as a civil litigator. I qualified as a Legal Executive and later as a Solicitor in 2004, initially working in Commercial Litigation for banks, building societies and finance companies. I moved into Personal Injury Law because I wanted to work directly with people. After acting for clients with life changing injuries and disabilities, I understand how important a well designed outdoor space can be to support health and wellbeing.
Those years taught me how to listen, how to understand what someone truly needs, how to guide, identify key issues, research, problem solve, communicate with honesty and care and to place my clients at the centre of what I do. All of that now flows into my design work.
Retraining was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I truly believe you can become anything you want to be when you focus on your goal and enjoy the journey.
So here I am, creating gardens and outdoor spaces for people to enjoy. I’m loving every moment.
