I am an artist, landscape designer, and death educator based in Central Texas.

My work explores the intersection of ecological design, ritual, and the human experience of mortality, with a focus on land-based practices, natural burial and alternative forms of body disposition, ecological grief, and ancestral connection. My approach is informed by an attunement to natural rhythms, an understanding of life cycles, and a belief in the transformative power of time and experience.

My path to landscape design has been nonlinear.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science from the University of Vermont and previously worked as an embryologist. My experience working in IVF shaped my scientific rigor, attentiveness to process, and care for life’s delicate transitions. In 2023 I completed Village Deathcare’s 111+ hour Death Doula Training and apprenticed under death doula and educator Anne-Marie Keppel, and in 2024 I received a Master’s in Landscape Architecture from the University of Texas at Austin, where I developed a practice rooted in ecological restoration, ritual landscapes, and climate-responsive design.

Key themes in my work include the design of sacred spaces that honor both ecological and human systems, the cultivation of communal landscapes for reflection and community mourning, and the exploration of cultural narratives surrounding death and remembrance.

My work has been highlighted in Landscape Architecture Magazine and Texas Architect, and I have contributed to the thought leadership in my field through my TBG Partners Idea Lab fellowship. I have also shared my insights into deathcare and landscape design on the “Before You Go” podcast, bridging professional expertise with public dialogue on grief, ritual, and the land.

I am currently a Landscape Designer at TBG Partners and a Death Doula at ABODE Contemplative Care for the Dying.
