My passion is homestead design with a focus on outdoor living and growing food. I utilize a holistic approach including regenerative agriculture and permaculture principles to create custom designs appropriate to my clients specific needs and abilities. With my ongoing support I build my clients confidence and get them growing their own food and creating their dream property!

I’ve got an 18 year professional career with combined experience in architecture, interior design, construction and permaculture. This multifaceted knowledge base sets me apart from the competition. 

By integrating an edible landscape into your life, you are creating food security, local ecosystem, and community. Your life will be enriched and you’ll enjoy new and rewarding experiences. How do I know? Because I live this lifestyle myself!

Kristin is an incredible resource. Her comprehensive design gave us the confidence and the road map to execute our dream of growing our own food forest. It included all of our wish list items too...a pool, chicken coop, outdoor living space, and more. We were overwhelmed by it all, wasn't sure where to begin and afraid of making costly mistakes. She was the perfect guide at the outset and has continued to be a supportive and educational mentor every step of the way since! We could not recommend her highly enough!
Jordan Residential Client, Phoenix AZ
I absolutely and unreservedly recommend Kristin. Whether you need assistance identifying proper tree placement or overall aesthetic design, you need to call her immediately. I'm glad I did.

“ITS SO BEAUTIFUL! I want my yard to look like this right. now.” -initial comment upon seeing his yard design drawing for the first time.

Kristin was great throughout the process of designing a new property for me. She took information from me regarding my wants and needs, was flexible with changes after the initial drawing and took into account my growing expertise level with different options. I would highly recommend her service and consider it a money saving option as mistakes when first planting as far as placement and design can be costly 1-2 years down the road.

After waffling about our backyard design for the last year and going back and forth on certain elements with my partner...I knew we needed an impartial, professional 3rd party. Enter Kristin: she took all our wish list items and ran with them. Walking her around our yard and speaking with her, it felt like we had an old friend over. She was attentive to detail and an absolute gem.
ChelseaResidential Client, Tempe AZ
“Kristin is great! I hired her for a yard consult, when she arrived she handed me a cute plumeria cutting! She took her time with me as we walked my yard and I explained what I wanted. She listened and made suggestions of where to plant certain fruit trees. Her suggestions were spot on, and ALL of my trees are thriving thanks to Kristin’s expertise! I highly recommend her!”
KellyResidential Client, Scottsdale AZ
"I knew my yard had potential but seeing Kristin's vision for my half acre reinforced that I bought the right property and hired the right people to realize its full potential. Her background in Architecture helped align the design elements of my custom home with my new custom edible landscape seamlessly."
