Jessica Staples
BLA (Hons)
Registered Landscape Architect
Jessica has over 20 years professional experience in Landscape Architecture in New Zealand and abroad.
Jessica started her career based in Queenstown quickly gaining a footing with landscape planning in sensitive landscapes. She then moved to Hong Kong for a change of scale, working in multidisciplinary firms presenting in key client meetings throughout Asia and the Middle East. Much of this work was large scale master planning and subsequent detailing of mixed used developments providing housing to hundreds of residents. She was also heavily involved in the delivery of the prestigious Saadiyat Island Cultural District that interfaces some of the world’s most significant museums and cultural facilities.
Since moving back to New Zealand in 2012 Jessica has been worked on a range of projects including numerous deliveries working for New Zealand government agencies.
Having worked in a design-build environment Jessica has a great understanding of the true cost and practicalities of construction. She gets immense satisfaction from being able to deliver beautiful yet practical, constructable solutions.
