Flavia Goldsworthy is an award-winning landscape architect and creative director specialising in nature-led landscape strategy and design.
Her work places biodiversity, ecological function and human connection at the centre of landscapes — creating environments that are both environmentally resilient and deeply felt.
She works primarily with commercial, public realm and land-owning clients to integrate nature strategically across sites of scale and complexity. Her landscapes respond to the climate crisis by restoring ecological function while shaping spaces that support wellbeing, identity and long-term value.
Flavia approaches landscape as a living, evolving system. Seasonal change, growth, movement are embraced as deliberate design tools, allowing landscapes to mature over time and remain engaging, resilient and relevant. Nature is never treated as decoration, but as living infrastructure — performingecologically while offering richness, beauty and emotional connection for the people who inhabit it.

Flavia has over 24 years of professional experience across fine art, landscape architecture and ecological practice. She trained the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, holds a BA Fine Art Sculpture - Brighton University and an MA in Landscape Architecture - Greenwich University, and has lectured on BA and MA Landscape Architecture programmes.
Her work brings together creative intuition with ecological depth and strategic clarity.
Working together
Flavia works closely with a small number of clients at any one time, allowing each project to approached with depth, care and focus.
Projects may include landscape visioning, strategic frameworks, detailed design and guidance through implementation, shaped in response to the specific character of the site and the ambitions of the client. She collaborates closely with architects, ecologists, engineers and wider consultant teams to ensure environmental ambition is delivered practically, robustly and with integrity.
Alongside her commercial work, Flavia undertakes a small number of private residential projects, selected for strong alignment, trust and creative freedom.
Design philosophy
Design is a form of communication. Instinct, proportion, sensitivity to place and an exceptional eye for detail underpin every project, resulting in landscapes that are alive, enduring and quietly powerful.
