About me and what I do

Services and advice to help you create environments that go beyond biophilic design to create spaces that enable biophilic living

I have expertise in horticulture and biophilic design and am convinced about the positive impact of nature on wellbeing. I am interested in integrating horticulture, biophilia, and aletheic principles to enhance health and happiness. I am open to collaboration and am interested in developing partnerships with designers, wellness businesses and naturist organizations to explore innovative ways to promote these concepts.

I know how being in nature can improve wellbeing, health and happiness. There is nowhere I would rather be than walking in the countryside, woodland or coasts.

An evidence-based, scientific approach to wellbeing and biophilic design

I have a background in plant sciences, horticulture and biophilic design, especially where greenery is incorporated in, on and around buildings. I use an evidence-based approach to my work to ensure that any interventions can be justified by data, not just feelings.

My career has focused on exploring how incorporating greenery and natural connections into our built environments can dramatically improve well-being and happiness. I have spent over 30 years involved in academic and professional research on the intersection of design, nature and wellbeing. I am currently involved, as an adviser, in some new long-term academic research investigating the benefits of biophilic design and green infrastructure.

UK-based, international capability

I am based in the UK, and I work with clients both domestically and internationally. I run my own horticultural and biophilic design consultancy business, offering both face-to-face and remote consultancy and training services. I work with commercial and private clients.
