What I Do
Member Type: Garden Designer
My College: WCoH
A Bit About Me: Originally I trained as a textile designer which I loved but since retraining I thoroughly enjoy designing gardens for people - it is so fulfilling. Each brief is different & I relish the challenge !
My Services: 20 years as a designer with BA Hons, Dip Hort. & 2 Chelsea medals. I am passionate about good design. I produce stylish designs for both private & commercial clients & offer a design only service or full build by professionals
Additional: I always ask what the budget is - I would hate to disappoint a client with something they can't afford.

Hi Jo, Are you busy at the moment with work?

Love you new albums - great design and great graphics - a passion of mine and whilst CAD is fine for construction detailing etc, clients love the hand-drawn work.
What sort of markers are you using and on what sort of paper? I personally use Tria markers on the back of tracing paper where you can easily blend them and then highlight with Karismacolor pencils on the front of the tracing paper - creates a super effect but equally love your method as well.
Super work!

Hi Jo,
If you want paint that shrugs off dirt, go to: www.sto.co.uk, extensive range, but it costs the earth.
Regards
Andy

Hi Jo,

Its great to see your presentation of designs, very stylish, clear and inspiring. Is it a mixture of CAD and handcolouring?

Hi Jo
Many thanks for your comments. Looked at your website - really lovely work. Love your drawing style as well. What method do you use to colour render your plans?

As for the paint - I did see Grand Designs when they used the special one but haven't used it myself yet. It is something I want to look into further especially for white rendered walls. The only company I've found so far is http://www.neverpaintagain.co.uk/ but their colour range is a little limited.

Best wishes

Rachel
