A little about me
The next couple of years I will have limited opportunity to take on new design clients as I progress towards formal psychotherapy and psychiatry training.
HOW I GOT HERE
Trained at KLC-West Dean school of design, Garden design diploma 2025
Background and Education
I have a social and natural science background having trained as a medical doctor, and completing a bachelors degree in global health and a diploma in tropical medicine. I have practised medicine in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Malawi, Japan, & Palestine.
The experiences I had working with diverse cultures has spurred me on to learn about the health of our environments. I spent my childhood visiting my grandmothers farm in rural Fermanagh, I have harboured a sense of value for the other.
Career Beginnings
I started visiting parks and garden and have become fascinated by urban naturalistic gardens.
Landing promptly on an RHS level 2 in horticulture, there has been reawakened a craving to learn more about the woodland edge and why humans find refuge in such comforting spaces.
Continued Success
In a quiet flash, the dog remembers a lyric from his boyhood — “Out of our hands / fall the gold of youth” — and wonders if this is a fever dream or if he finally now resides within art.

An outline appears just past the hand, suggesting the possibility of a door to somewhere else. The fox, not one to lead the room in coordinated meditative stretching, bolts for the door, hoping to find some semblance of an exit around the hand’s bend. What’s the difference between an escape and an exit — one could ask — and could this barely defined shape serve as either? We must compartmentalize what defines us, and what creates a version of us we’d rather not know; can you ever simply be a fox jumping over a dog you once understood?
