About Me. I am free-spirited nomadic soul with a passion for designing sustainable tropical paradises. Over the past three years, I've immersed myself in the world of permaculture, weaving together my love for nature, wanderlust, and regenerative living. As a tropical permaculture designer, my journey has taken me across diverse landscapes and cultures . I believe in creating harmony between human habitation and the natural environment, cultivating thriving ecosystems that benefit both people and the planet. My design philosophy is rooted on a land and steward centered approach. I love the challenge of transforming spaces into vibrant, self-sustaining havens where every element plays a crucial role. From edible landscapes to water harvesting systems, my designs reflect a commitment to regenerative practices and a deep respect for the Earth. Living a nomadic lifestyle allows me to draw inspiration from different cultures and ecosystems, infusing my designs with a global perspective. I've had the privilege of collaborating with communities, learning from their wisdom, and incorporating local knowledge into my projects.
