For over 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of designing extraordinary outdoor living spaces across Florida, transforming backyards into seamless, soulful extensions of the home. From resort-style pools and spas to lush landscaping, living vertical gardens, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and fire features, my passion lies in creating environments where one space effortlessly flows into the next, inviting you to live outdoors as beautifully as you do indoors.

My design journey began far from Florida’s shores. Born and raised in the Fiji Islands, I spent the early part of my career as a private chef aboard super-yachts, traveling the Pacific and setting foot on some of the world’s most breathtaking private islands and luxury resorts. Those years surrounded by turquoise waters, open-air architecture, and nature perfectly intertwined with elegant living left an indelible mark. They taught me how robust great design can be, how the right space can calm the mind, spark joy, and bring people together.

Today, I bring that same island-inspired sense of flow, luxury, and connection to nature into every project here in the Sunshine State. Whether it’s a serene tropical retreat in Miami, a modern coastal oasis in Naples, or an entertainer’s paradise in Orlando, my goal remains the same: to craft outdoor spaces that don’t just look incredible but feel like home.

Welcome to my world. Let’s create yours.
