Beautiful by design. Beneficial by nature.

Beautiful by design. Beneficial by nature.

Reconnect with nature through thoughtful landscape design. Serving the metro Atlanta area, I create yards that are beautiful, personal, and alive, designed to support local insects and wildlife while working with Georgia's climate and soil.

The result? A garden that needs less water, less fertilizer, and less maintenance — and gives back far more than it takes.

My design process

STEP 1

📞 Free Consultation

We'll hop on a 20 minute Zoom or phone call to discuss your goals, vision, and budget.

STEP 2

🏡 Site Visit & Analysis

I'll visit your property to review the existing site conditions and have you give me a tour! I'll ask you questions, such as any drainage concerns, sunlight, rainwater patterns, etc.

STEP 3

✍🏻 Design

From there, I'll draft a full planting layout and we'll refine it together. You'll get one revision to make sure it feels exactly right. This will take around 1 week.

STEP 4

🎉 Finalize

I'll hand you the completed plan and a list of every plant used.

Portrait of Kim, landscape designer

Hi, I'm Kim!

Hi, I'm Kim!

I came to landscape design the way most good things happen — accidentally. After buying my first plant, I fell completely down the rabbit hole and never looked back.


By trade, I'm a product designer, which means I think in systems, layers, and user experience. It turns out those skills translate beautifully to gardens.


But my real education started much earlier. My dad is a horticulturalist, and growing up, he was always the one who could tell you exactly why something was thriving or struggling. That foundation shaped how I see plants: not as decoration, but as living systems worth understanding.


Today I design native and edible gardens that are intentional, beautiful, and built to last, rooted in both design thinking and a genuine love for the land and environment. I am a certified Landscape Designer from Emory University and a member of the Georgia Native Plant Society.
