Erin considers landscape design from an artistic, architectural and ecological perspective. Bringing together her background in architecture, landscape architecture, illustration and gardening, Erin approaches each design with a unique eye for detail and deep understanding of the design process. She believes that the garden, however large or small, should be designed as a whole system, in which every part connects with one another. She has studied Permaculture and is a firm advocate of urban farming and edible gardens. Erin’s passion for design is part of a family tradition – her grandfather, father, and uncle are all architects. Though raised in San Diego, Erin now lives and works in Seattle and considers this beautiful city to be her hometown of choice.
Erin holds a degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Southern California, where she graduated with honors. For four years, she worked as an architectural designer with residential clients at Johnston Architects in Seattle. She is a Certified Professional Horticulturalist (CPH) and a Certified Permaculture Designer. Erin works mainly as a designer & project manager.
