Studio Polycultura is a design laboratory focused on bioregional approaches to building social-ecological resilence. By weaving landscape architecture, regenerative principles, and storytelling, I work with individuals, communities, and organizations to explore solutions that build capacity for the human and the more-than-human, together.

In agroecology, polyculture refers to the cultivation of multiple species in the same area, resulting in increased yields and healthier soils. Polyculture provides a model for how humans can relate to each other and their environment: it’s the diversity of a system which makes it resilient to disturbance.

“If diversity is a source of wonder, its opposite - the ubiquitous condensation to some blandly amorphous and singular generic modern culture that takes for granted an impoverished environment - is a source of dismay. There is, indeed, a fire burning over the earth, taking with it plants and animals, cultures, languages, ancient skills and visionary wisdom. Quelling this flame, and re-inventing the poetry of diversity is perhaps the most important challenge of our times.”
