Freelance Garden Design & Studio Collaboration

Alongside my private garden design projects, I collaborate with a small number of landscape and garden design studios on a freelance basis. I provide design and drawing support across a range of project stages, from early concept development through to detailed technical packages.

My work is rooted in a planting-led, thoughtful approach to outdoor spaces, and I adapt easily to different studio processes and project requirements. Whether contributing to early design thinking or assisting with production work under tight timelines, I aim to integrate seamlessly into each team I work with.

Collaboration Experience

I regularly collaborate with established landscape and garden design studios, supporting both residential and special projects. I currently work with two studios on an ongoing basis, alongside occasional ad hoc collaborations.

This work has included contributing drawing packages and design development for projects ranging from private gardens to show gardens, including work associated with the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

I understand the importance of clear communication, reliability, and consistency when working within studio teams, and I am comfortable adapting to different workflows, deadlines, and project scales.

Working Approach

Studios often value my ability to step into projects efficiently and contribute where needed, whether supporting early creative stages or assisting with detailed production work.

My background in garden design allows me to combine strong spatial thinking with a sensitive approach to planting, ensuring designs remain cohesive from concept through to delivery. I am organised, deadline-aware, and comfortable working independently or as part of a wider team.

Availability

I take on a limited number of freelance collaborations each year alongside my private client projects.

If you are a landscape or garden design studio looking for freelance support, I would be happy to discuss your project requirements.
