I have been immersed in landscape architecture my entire life. Born and raised in the Roaring Fork Valley, I grew up witnessing the care and passion involved in shaping outdoor spaces. From tending gardens to observing how design ideas became built environments, I developed a natural attentiveness to the feel of a space—the textures, colors, sounds, and movement within it.

My professional experience blends work as a landscape architect with hands-on experience as a landscape contractor. This dual background gives me a deep understanding of how to bring ideas to life—from shaping the land and managing water, to selecting and installing materials, coordinating with consultants, and navigating schedules and budgets. My training in architecture, including travel abroad, informs my approach to each project, guiding the dialogue between building and landscape and helping me translate ideas into environments that are thoughtful, cohesive, and fully realized.

While leading Carpenter Studio, I craft landscapes that feel intentional, inspiring, and deeply connected to their surroundings.
