Before qualifying with Distinction in Residential Landscape Design (Post-Graduate Diploma) at the Oxford College of Garden Design, I dedicated over a decade to video game production, developing some amazing titles with some incredibly talented people.

My experience as a Producer & Project Manager ingrained the paramount importance of good design, precise planning, and the simple art of listening to people. I bring these skills, along with genuine passion to the art of making spectacular spaces.

Duncan’s pedigree speaks for itself. Trained by top international designer and author, John Brookes, Duncan turned down a directorship to open his own award-winning design practice in Henley-on-Thames. He founded and runs the world-renowned Oxford College of Garden Design. He also sat on the Society of Garden Designers council, co-authored the Garden Design Specification and is a regular lecturer for the SGD.

From a young age, I was drawn to nature. My fascination for frogs meant soggy sleeves were a staple of my childhood. Countless afternoons cloaked in the green comfort of nature. Duckweed, mostly.

In this strange era of hand sanitiser and self-isolation, with a young daughter to raise, no place feels more like home – more sacred – than a garden. Preferably with a pond.
