Joanna has been designing gardens in the greater Auckland area for 11 years having graduated from Unitec with a Diploma in Landscape Design. Completed projects include large and small city gardens, courtyard and apartment gardens, country and coastal properties.

She loves the problem solving aspect of her work and tends to 'live and breathe' the project she is currently working on in order to create a garden that is special and unique for its owners. Listening to her clients carefully is an important part of achieving a happy outcome.

In her mind when designing are the more subtle aspects of the garden, such as light and shade, scale and proportion, which can work together to delight and lift the spirit. She also appreciates the importance of sound site analysis and workable solutions.She strives to design gardens that read well on installation, but will increase in beauty and atmosphere as they mature and she loves working with both soft and hard landscaping elements in a garden, developing the interplay between the two.
