Caitlin Hartnett-Poelman
"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
Caitlin is a graduate landscape architect passionate about regenerative, accessible, and inclusive design. With experience in residential, ecological restoration, and public realm projects, she has worked across urban, rural, and coastal contexts, gaining skills in conceptual development through to detailed design and documentation.
Caitlin has a particular interest in design for health and wellbeing, and how our everyday spaces can enrich our lives. Her master’s thesis explored the creation of stress-relieving, community-focused spaces within urban environments, providing specialised knowledge in therapeutic landscape design. Caitlin aims to integrate the principles of accessible, nature-based design into her projects, understanding their crucial role in supporting physical and mental well-being and how landscape architecture can serve as a tool for public health.
