Hi, I’m Brooke, lead designer at Root & Dwell!

Always having been in the field of design, I graduated college with a degree in both graphic design and illustration. I then when on to work as an art director before deciding to switch gears to interior design. That is when I found my love of garden design and outdoor project design. I realized good home landscaping can create a “feeling” just like good interior design, and I wanted to help people build that in their own spaces. I absolutely love working with plants, specifically native plants and coming up with ways to creatively incorporate them into an existing landscape to contstruct a retreat for both homeowners and wildlife. My interior design background allows me to also design hardscapes and exterior home projects that feel intentional.

The studio:

Root & Dwell is all about garden and outdoor design that feels purposeful yet natural. We celebrate and try to create outdoor spaces that feel natural and simplistic, built for relaxation and enjoyment. We focus on native plants and the use of sustainable materials as much as possible. Root & Dwell is a small scale studio with projects ranging from container gardens for residential and storefronts, to small to mid-scale outdoor projects and gardens.
