Amy's Inspiration

Growing up amidst the picturesque landscapes of Napa Valley in Northern California, Amy's upbringing was steeped in the artistry of nature, guided by the entrepreneurial spirit instilled by her parents, who demonstrated the transformative potential of turning passion into profession.

As a connoisseur of visual beauty, Amy draws inspiration from the vast tapestry of travel, whether it's the breathtaking vistas of the Amalfi Coast or the touring the beautiful landscapes in Ireland.

Her designs serve as reflections of her life philosophy, characterized by a sense of lightness, freshness, and airiness, where natural elements and organic textures intertwine harmoniously with intriguing focal points, all curated in an elegant and intuitive manner.

Adept at unraveling the complexities of exterior design challenges, Amy's keen problem-solving skills are matched only by her genuine desire to create designs that help her clients realize their vision for an outdoor living space they can truly take pride in.

Amyā€™s landscape design practice has been built almost entirely on referrals, a testament to the lasting relationships sheā€™s cultivated with discerning homeowners over the years. With more than two decades of experience designing outdoor spaces in the same region, Amy brings a deep understanding of local materials, climate, and aestheticsā€”along with long-standing connections in the green industry that help bring each vision to life with seamless execution.

Known for her eye for color, balance, and detail, Amy creates outdoor environments that are both elegant and livableā€”spaces designed to be experienced, not just admired. Whether sourcing bespoke materials or tailoring a palette to complement a homeā€™s architecture, her work is rooted in craftsmanship and intention.

Outside of design, Amy finds inspiration in travel, time spent in nature, and meaningful moments with her husband Jeff, their two adult daughters, and their families. A family of passionate football fans, they often travel together to support the University of Oregon and the U.S. Naval Academyā€”gathering memories along the way that continue to fuel Amyā€™s appreciation for connection, beauty, and a well-lived life.
