Taitokerau Landscape Architecture
Ngāti Kahungunu + Ngāi Tūhoe
I whakapapa from my mother to tamaterangi and ruapani and from my father to kaianuanu in neiafu, tonga. I currently work part time at Auckland City Council (last 4 years) in ACR Policy, focusing on volcanic landscapes within the city. I teach onto the bachelor of landscape architecture programme at unitec with a focus on the landscape history of aotearoa and advocate for te ao maori content within the degree. I have my own practice which i generally dedicate one day a week towards, specialising in residential, commercial and parks landscape design. I bring to all my work, a desire to infuse our landscape (in policy, planning & design) with the values and aspirations of tangata whenua. I am particularly interested in notions of landscape identity and values borne out of this place... aotearoa new zealand.
