Freelance Garden Design & Studio Collaboration

Alongside my own projects, I offer freelance garden design support to studios, designers and landscape professionals.

I can assist at any stage of a project — from early concept development through to detailed design, planting plans and specifications. I work primarily in Vectorworks, producing clear, well-resolved drawings that support both design intent and construction.

I’m used to collaborating closely with other designers and contractors, providing reliable and flexible support to help deliver projects smoothly and to a high standard.

If you’re looking for additional design support on a project, I’d be happy to discuss how I can assist.

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.
