A Foundation in Nature
Raised in the lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, my affinity for nature blossomed from an early age. Whether traversing forest trails or cultivating my own garden oasis, I developed a deep-rooted appreciation for the serenity and beauty of the natural world.
The Genesis of Emerald Plant

This realization sparked the inception of Emerald Plant—an endeavor aimed at bridging the gap between biophilic design principles and practical plant care solutions.

Following my academic pursuits, I delved into the intricacies of plant maintenance and biophilic design, honing my skills through hands-on experience and collaboration with industry professionals. From designing living walls to advising on sustainable plant installations, each project enriched my understanding of indoor greenery's potential to enhance wellbeing and aesthetics.
