Hemlock Studio

Over the past year my work has shifted toward regenerative strategy for the built environment, infrastructure, and community systems.

Some of you may know I stepped away from residential design and construction in early 2024 and moved into ESG and large-scale electrical infrastructure, collaborating with international sustainability teams. Since then, the work has deepened.

Recently I’ve been designing and managing land-based learning programs, supporting fish food security initiatives, coordinating water quality monitoring, and spending time on the land through an Indigenous-led lens. Alongside this, I’ve been supporting the digital presence and community engagement work of Advantage Engineering, an Indigenous-owned engineering firm. That has included workshops, capacity-building initiatives, and the design and coordination of a booth for the Vancouver Energy Summit last month.

It’s been a full season of learning, building, listening, and collaborating with some truly inspiring consultants and changemakers working at the intersection of land stewardship and public infrastructure.

Grateful, busy, and very aligned.
If you’re curious about the work or want to connect, my door is open.

Humble beginnings of a garden transformation for the birds and bees in point grey 🐝 🌸 🌻🪻🌾

Springtime in 2022 witnessed a rebirth of this Kitsilano kitchen, a testament to timeless transformations. Discerning taste met functionality as we preserved the classic bamboo cabinets, updating them with modern hardware. The mosaic backsplash and dated elements gave way to open shelves and sophisticated appliances, crafting a culinary haven that’s both modern and enduring. ✨ 🍽️

our wonderful clients decided on the “cloudburst” and we can’t help but assume the inspiration is drawn from the reflective qualities of snow, ice and mixed cloud cover in the mountains … safe to say we’re obsessed ✨🧊🌫
