ABOUT ROBIN

SquarespacePhoto-cropped.jpg

I am a 5th generation Oregonian and grew up in a small town just north of Portland, along the Columbia River. As a child, I was surrounded by nature - from mountains and forests to open prairie, wetlands, creeks and rivers - which nurtured a very early appreciation and love of the natural landscape, horticulture, architecture and art.

I received my Bachelor of Landscape Architecture degree in 1999 from the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts.

Over the years, I have designed and managed many projects in the United States and abroad in Ireland - from private residential gardens to commercial and mixed-use developments, rooftop gardens, parks, resorts, and nature playgrounds.

I have worked with and designed for:

  • Huntington & Kiest Landscape Architects Portland, Oregon

  • Koch Landscape Architecture Portland, Oregon

  • Marianne Zarkin Landscape Architects Portland, Oregon

  • Bothwell Landscape Studio Portland, Oregon

  • Learning Landscapes Design Portland, Oregon

  • Cunnane Stratton Reynolds Cork and Dublin, Ireland

  • Scott Lewis Landscape Architect San Francisco, California

  • Cliff Lowe Associates San Francisco, California

  • Samuel H. Williamson Associates Portland, Oregon

  • Murase Associates Portland, Oregon

My emphasis is in custom residential garden design, natural symmetry and vernacular architecture. I focus on fine landscape detailing, beautiful plant combinations and a clever, articulated and highly functional approach to design. I aim to provide a beautiful, enriching and intimate landscape experience for all of my clients.

I am a licensed Landscape Architect in the State of Oregon.
