Designer & Project Coordinator
Shirlei is passionate about plants and gardens. Through her Bachelor’s degree in Urban Forestry, she discovered that most greenspaces are located on residential properties. After graduating, she wanted to have a more significant impact on the urban environment by working in landscape maintenance. As a landscape supervisor, she learned planting and pruning techniques to ensure that plants thrive in urban settings. Throughout her journey, she discovered that many garden designs are not sensible and are very high-maintenance. This sparked a wish to create her own sound and low-maintenance gardens. Her goal is not only to design landscapes that are beautiful, but are also ecologically functional; that support the declining songbird population, native pollinators, all the way to soil microbes. She has found a place to fulfill that goal at Craine Projects, where she carefully selects plants for their beauty, needs, and role in a garden bed. In her free time, Shirlei enjoys hiking, painting, and discovering new plant combinations.
