I studied for a full‑time Diploma in Garden Design at the prestigious Inchbald School of Design, graduating in July 2026.

For the Inchbald School of Design Graduate Exhibition 2026 at the Chelsea Design Centre, I showcased two projects: a Georgian country house set within the rolling landscape of the Surrey Hills, and a much‑loved family home in the Chilterns.

My exhibition boards bring together the key elements of each scheme - masterplans, hand‑drawn perspectives, planting design and the technical drawings that underpin the construction and detailing. Together, they demonstrate how both gardens were shaped, refined and communicated for exhibition.

Further details about these projects are shared on my Projects page.
