Prior to launching his studio, Jared worked in London as an associate for eight years at Jinny Blom Landscape Design, creating high specification private gardens and classical landscapes within the UK, Continental Europe and the USA. He also worked for two years at Allen Pyke Associates, a leading landscape architectural practice in Cambridge, England. These formative years have helped shape Jared’s understanding of a diverse range of gardens to suit the needs of each client, from formal architecture to more organic spaces, combined with a personal sensibility that encourages each project to quietly and confidently mature through the seasons.

Dan is the studio manager and is studying a diploma in Landscape Design. With experience as the creative director of Viva and as an editor at The New Zealand Herald, Dan has a passion for sustainable storytelling and design.
I aim to give every design a unique identity and sense of place through understanding the site and how the client wishes to use it.
Local geography, plant life, and climate all play a part in development of the character of a site.
