As the founder of SHL Academy, I've dedicated my career to mastering the art of tropical softscape design, accumulating over a decade of hands-on experience in the field. My journey has taken me through a variety of lush environments, from the balmy coasts of Southeast Asia to the rich, verdant rainforests of South America, where I've honed my skills in creating dynamic, sustainable landscapes that thrive in warm climates. With a deep understanding of regional flora and innovative design principles, I've established a reputation for transforming outdoor spaces into vibrant, living tapestries that reflect the beauty and complexity of their tropical settings.

My passion for tropical softscape design has manifested in the creation of the "Tropical Softscape Design Mastery" course at SHL Academy. This course is a distillation of my years of research, practice, and teaching, designed to empower students with the knowledge and tools to create breathtaking tropical landscapes.
