Tom’s knowledge spans across a broad range of projects in scale and complexity. From concept to construction, he has worked on projects in the residential, commercial, industrial, educational, aged care, environmental and major transport infrastructure sectors. Tom’s interest in landscape architecture stems from a desire to create better living environments and has developed particular passions around subtropical design; best practice design in aged care facilities for residents with dementia; using native flora to celebrate the unique character; and ecological restoration. He heads the Glindemann Park Bushcare Group where he can bring his practice and passion together.

Travis is a Landscape Architect with design and documentation experience ranging from school outdoor learning and play areas to streetscapes, retail centres, and parks. During his time at FRED St, Travis has undertaken a broad spectrum of tasks within the design process, from concept sketching, graphics, 3D models, and through to detailed documentation. Travis has a keen eye for the details, able to put intricate design responses into a project that elevates the outcomes from the ordinary, to something unique. Always in keeping with the place, its people and its natural environment.

Having recently graduated, Ellis is quickly solidifying his studies into practical experience. He is competently documenting a range of projects and beginning to apply his interest in fabrication and mechanics in the development of construction details for bespoke structures and play items. Ellis loves to adventure across our beautiful piece of the world and looks to integrate a light touch, exploring the environmentally responsible aspects of design. His vision is being able to provide a fully functional development that has a zero negative impact.

Currently completing his studies in Landscape Architecture, Dave is a long term FRED that supports the team with his documentation skills. Having a history in the hospitality industry, Dave brings a level of understanding to spatial requirements and the experience of the users. He’s extending his knowledge of local plants, getting a real feel for how to arrange plant palettes into a softscape design that gives each project it’s own character and visual interest. Water plays an integral part to all landscapes, and through his studies, Dave is exploring what this means to the future of our industry and lifestyles.
