landscape architect & designer

Emily Richards MSc CMLI

Freelance Chartered Landscape Architect


I am a chartered member of the Landscape Institute with over 9 years experience - predominantly in the commercial public realm sector in London. I am technically competent and as a designer am committed to breathing new life into spaces whilst at the same time retaining soul and accentuating character. I am interested in innovative approaches to design, especially in the current climate. No project is too big or too small so please get in touch for any design opportunities (including landscape architecture projects, garden design or freelance landscape architecture work).
