Sound Food Forest Designs
About
I offer regenerative landscape design, consultation, and education rooted in whole-systems thinking and ecological restoration. My work focuses on creating food and habitat-rich landscapes that support both people and wildlife, with a strong emphasis on Oregon native plants mostly selected from the Portland Plant List.
With over 10 years of experience in native plant–based restoration, I specialize in designing resilient, living landscapes that increase biodiversity, soil health, and long-term ecological function. I am an experienced Backyard Habitat Certifier and can design and guide landscapes to meet certification standards, helping homeowners transform their yards into thriving habitat spaces.
Mission
In addition to design and consultation, I provide plant aftercare following installations as well as ongoing land stewardship for habitat-focused backyards. My approach is collaborative and educational – empowering clients to understand their landscapes, care for them confidently, and participate in the larger work of ecological regeneration and food sovereignty.
Vision
I am passionate about restoring relationships between people, place, and the natural systems that sustain us, and I bring both practical expertise and deep care to every project.
