Kaihoahoa Whenua | Landscape Architect
Kaiarataki | Professional

Having grown up in a farming community on the East Coast, I have a solid practical background with a keen eye for good design and an intuitive and fundamental base knowledge of land systems and construction. I joined Boffa Miskell after working for a consultancy firm in Tauranga.

The variety that comes with my role is something that I enjoy. I have been fortunate enough to be involved in a range of projects including concept, design development and detailing landscape and visual effects assessments and planting strategies and plans. I also work alongside the ecology team, assisting in ecological assessments and reports, mainly based around mass-planted wetland systems.

My passion lies in creating spaces that excite and surprise people as well as design within rural and ecological systems.
