About Amanda Davey
BSc. BA. DipLA
With a training as a geographer and landscape architect I find that combining the two skill-bases in my daily work is very important and brings a breadth of understanding to the projects I get to work on. I have a wide appreciation of the issues of today’s landscape and a diversity of skills that to use to interpret and research both the designed and the natural form of the British landscape.
I have been a keen photographer since childhood, with a diverse portfolio of images of landscape architecture, gardens, international sites and wildlife.
After studying at Exeter University under Brian Harley and William Ravenhill, I worked with maps for several years in museums and archaeology and then for four years as Map Curator at Sussex University. A shift of emphasis led to further training as a landscape architect at the University of Greenwich, while working in a practice on a mixture of:-
- Large infrastructure schemes
- Roads
- Historic parks
- World Heritage Sites
This increased diversity of experience and interests included working on key projects such as The Good Roads Guide and The National Map of England (now known as the Joint Map of England).
I worked as the graphic designer for the successful Nomination Document for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew World Heritage Site application.
In 2004, I set up Tilia Services to continue to work on diverse projects and to sharpen the photography and research skills in a more directed manner. This has given the opportunity to work in a number of different teams on a continued diversity of projects. This work has included many historic parks and environments and trees in urban and rural settings.
