What have you been up to for the last 50 years?

I had two children, went back to college and obtained a BS degree in Interior Design and practiced interior design for over 20 years.

Then I left the corporate world and returned to school for landscape design. I have been practicing landscape design since 2002 and am on the national board for the Association for Professional Landscape Designers. I am a Timber Press author with two books under my belt, as noted above.

I have been an avid gardener for most of my life and have a large garden in which I thoroughly enjoy getting lost for hours. Design has been a life long passion and I am fortunate to continue practicing in such an amazing profession.
