Things I'm building and part of
One thread runs through all of it: using design, technology, and hands-on making to create better places for life to happen.

My landscape architecture and design-technology studio. Residential landscape design, edible landscapes, planting and garden planning, practical site improvements, and CAD and Civil 3D consulting for small firms and project teams. Looking for help with your own yard or property? Start here.

Deconstruct Sun
I built Deconstruct Sun to answer a question every gardener and designer asks: how much direct sun does this spot really get? The app captures a skyline panorama, traces the trees and buildings that block the sun, and calculates sun hours across the year, with a shareable PDF report.
