I grew up in Milan, where esthetic values are intrinsic and omnipresent. As a child, I learned to ride my bike in the Bramante cloister where Da Vinci's Last Supper is preserved. It was inevitable to gain the strong visual education now embedded in me. With an MA in environmental architecture from Politecnico di Milano and a specialization in ornamental horticulture from The New York Botanical Garden, I merged the two practices shifting the focus from concrete-built architectural structures to soft and alive design of the landscape. Nature is the driving force in my design, creating rooms and emotional experiences through the sapient use of plants, natural materials, and environmental values. My design approach is intended to complement the architecture while elevating the outdoor experience and enhancing the surrounding beauty. I design gardens both for urban and countryside properties. My academic and professional experiences took me from Italy to Israel, from Hong Kong to Lisbon, ending up in New York. I am passionate about our natural environment, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with others. I have been invited by venues like NYU Casa Italiana, The New York Botanical Garden, and Montclair University to share my experience and to give talks about ecology and gardens.
Helping clients, architects, and interiors designers embrace a landscape design project. My service includes analyzing the condition of your property, providing comprehensive plans based on the site and client needs, and managing the installation. Landscape design is much more than just plant selection, it's curating your outdoors to set the mood of your property.
Web Copywriter, for Simple Flair Magazine. My field spans from architecture, to landscape design, to interiors and major events scattered around the world.
Working and studying at The New York Botanical Garden, after my architectural experience, I decided to focus on landscape architecture, which is why I am currently getting a specialization on ornamental horticulture and botany.
