By training and work experience, I am a landscape designer and community planner certified by the AICP (American Institute of Certified Planners). I have graduate degrees in landscape architecture and urban design from UC Berkeley. I have worked as a designer/planner in the U.S. and the Middle East and have taught design and planning at U.C. Davis and Pennsylvania State University.

CBCeLANDSCAPES is a community/urban planning consultancy and a landscape design firm. CBC eLANDSCAPES is observant of the Sacramento Valley's distinct landscape character and the need to conserve its unique ecosystems. Our design mission and practice align with conservation and regenerative goals of the City of Sacramento River Friendly Landscape (RFL) Program, ReScape California, UC Cooperative Extension, UC Master Gardener Program, and others.
