Projects are in safe hands with Jacqui’s previous experience and responsibility as a senior creative art director in advertising where she project-managed campaigns, working with large groups of specialists on international brands (VW, Shell, Cadbury Schweppes, Kellogg, Unilever) and winning global awards, giving confidence in her ability to deliver.

She communicates ideas using her gifted drawing skills engaging with clients from the beginning, and this with her instinctive response to reimagine spaces offers unique creative garden design solutions.

She grew up in South Africa with a deep connection to the landscapes around her, a sensitivity to conservation and an early love of gardening which she brings to projects in the UK.

After advertising she retrained in Fine Art, and began a 30 year renovation project on their Grade II listed property, redesigning and replanting the entire garden.

Her professional landscape painting career flourished and in 2019 she was awarded a Master’s degree from University Arts London.

With a passion for creating gardens, and wanting a new challenge, she enrolled at London College of Garden Design and graduated with a distinction in 2022, bringing together art, gardens and sustainability in her new garden design practice, JCGD.

Pre-Registered member of the Society of Garden Designers (SGD) and works towards their high standards.
