DESIGNER PROFILE

JOANNA GELBAK

Formal Education: Master of Economics (Krakow, Poland); Certificate Landscape Design (School of Professional Horticulture at New York Botanical Garden, New York, USA); Cert IV Horticulture (In-progress);

I have been designing gardens since 2004. Originally from Poland, I studied landscape design in New York while working as an assistant designer for Laurie B. Eichengreen, a distinguished New York landscape designer, director of Green Sense Ltd. I came to Australia in 2007 and I worked as a full-time assistant designer for Rick Eckersley at Eckersley Stafford Design (now Eckersley Garden Architecture), and later as a full-time designer for Ian Barker at Ian Barker and Associates (now Ian Barker Gardens).

I am interested in creating high quality, practical garden designs where your needs and preferences are met and existing site conditions taken into account. I specialize in designs for a residential homeowner working in collaboration with client to achieve the best results, and a bit of magic.
