I work at the intersection of people and place. I love my family, and I love making my farm house a home, finding that line between wild and domesticated. It’s blurry.
I’m an experienced leader in cultural landscape preservation and a skilled design professional. I have a passion for landscape photography and I take pride in my ability to research and share the history of cultural landscapes. My photos have been published extensively in both print and digital outlets by organizations such as The Trustees of Reservations, Appalachian Mountain Club, and Mass DCR for promotional, marketing, and social engagement. I’ve used my research on the land use history of designed and vernacular landscapes in New England to offer educational lectures and landscape tours. I’ve guest lectured at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site, and led a series of lectures at the Hingham Historical Society and Hingham Public Library. I care about the details. I care about telling a good story.
Galvanizing this variety of disciplines is my love of landscape exploration. I am fortunate to have seen wild and cultural landscapes around the world and I still find great joy in exploring my local surroundings. I’m on-trail for roughly 500 miles a year, typically representing over 75,000’ of elevation gain. Hiking in the wilderness along with visits to iconic designed gardens, parks, and estates inspires all of my work.
