There is often more possible than we can see from where we are.

We begin by slowing down and paying attention: to what's happening, to what's in the way, and to what we might see if we looked at it differently.

Good design doesn't fight the place. It listens to it.

Of Mindful Design grew out of my own life: what happens when we pay closer attention to ourselves, to each other, and to the living world. Food forests, medicine gardens, and permaculture landscapes, for a new site or one that's already growing.

I design. I advise. I consult. I teach. I don't install, so the work is yours to carry out, on your own or with your own contractor.
