He recently finished his studies in Landscape Architecture at UNSW, where he developed a passion for understanding and designing outdoor spaces, and designing with plants. During his degree, Hamish undertook an exchange semester in Copenhagen, which inspired his undergraduate thesis that investigated how Copenhagen’s entrenched culture of bicycling influences peoples’ use of parks and public spaces. Throughout his studies, Hamish also worked as a gardener, maintaining a number of sizeable gardens on Sydney’s north shore alongside an experienced horticulturalist. He continues to work in a small number of these gardens, and has also returned to UNSW as a tutor to first year students in the Landscape Architecture program. The subjects he is involved with have a focus on horticulture, ecology, and planting design.DAN DOHERTY Landscape Designer & Stylist Daniel is a Landscape Designer who has held a lifelong passion for horticulture and architecture.

She is our dynamic Studio Manager who rules the roost with her strong sassy attitude. She appears to have a hard shell, yet loves nothing more than curling up for an afternoon nap on a colleagues lap – whoever will have her. It’s hard yakka being the office vacuum cleaner and there’s all those sticks to lug back from doggie park and chew! Even though she’s a petite pooch she is a Boss when it comes to personality and has everyone wrapped around her paw.
