My passion for landscape design began long before college. Growing up in my family's landscape business, I spent countless days riding alongside my father as he cared for properties throughout our community. Those early experiences taught me that landscapes are more than plants and patios, they're places where families gather, children play, and memories are made.

​

I later studied Ornamental Horticulture at Mercer County Community College before earning my Bachelor of Landscape Architecture from Temple University, including a study abroad program in Rome, Italy, where I explored historic landscapes and architecture.

​

Working throughout both California and New Jersey has allowed me to experience a wide range of landscape styles, from contemporary residential estates to naturalistic planting design. Those experiences continue to shape my design philosophy today.

At Studio L.V., my focus is creating timeless residential landscapes that feel connected to both the home and the people who live there. Every project is thoughtfully designed to balance beauty, function, and a lasting connection to nature.
