   In their own words 
--------------------

 Clarissa originally trained as a lawyer practising at a multinational law firm and a leading global insurance company in London for twelve years. She decided to retrain as a garden designer and follow her passion graduating from KLC School of Design with Distinction and winning the final project prize for the iconic Isokon building. Clarissa fell in love with gardening as a child; understanding early on how gardens can affect your emotions and wellbeing. She enjoys working collaboratively with others; listening to clients and meeting their needs while pushing creatively to achieve beautiful and practical spaces.
