Meet the Designer
Rooted in passion, designed with purpose
I'm the founder behind Dilworth Designs, and landscape has been my language for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by San Diego's natural beauty — the coastal bluffs, the canyon flora, the golden light — I developed an intuition for how the outdoors can shape the way we live.
Every project begins with listening — and grows through collaboration. I want to understand how you use your space, what draws you outside, and what would make your home feel complete. From there, we work together to shape designs that are as functional as they are beautiful — spaces where families gather, dinners linger, and quiet mornings feel like a retreat.
Our Mission
Our purpose is to serve our clients' landscape design needs through creativity and collaboration. We provide excellent guidance to create beautiful spaces and opportunities for meaningful moments.
Design Philosophy
Landscapes that honor the land
I believe the best designs don't fight the environment — they work with it. San Diego's Mediterranean climate is a gift, and my approach centers on choosing plants that thrive naturally here, materials that age gracefully, and layouts that feel effortless rather than forced.
Creativity
Every landscape is an original — shaped by the site, the climate, and your way of life. We bring fresh ideas and thoughtful design to every project.
Collaboration
Great landscapes are built together. We listen closely, share our expertise, and guide you through every decision so the result is truly yours.
Meaningful Moments
Beautiful spaces are only the beginning. We design landscapes that set the stage for gatherings, celebrations, and everyday moments worth remembering.
Why Dilworth
More than a designer — a guide and partner in your vision
Working with me means getting a dedicated partner who guides you through every phase — from the initial site walk and design development to material selection and construction oversight. I provide clear, thoughtful guidance at each step so you always feel confident in the direction we're heading.
My clients come to me because they want something intentional. Not a cookie-cutter layout, but a landscape that reflects who they are and how they live. That collaborative, hands-on approach is what sets Dilworth Designs apart.
