Amanda Davey was trained
as a Geographer and a Landscape Architect and is proud to be able
to combine the two skill-bases in her daily work. She has a wide
appreciation of the issues of today’s landscape and a diversity
of skills that she uses to interpret and research both the designed
and the natural form of the British landscape. She has been a
keen photographer since childhood and has a diverse portfolio
of images of landscape architecture, gardens, international sites
and wildlife. With her knowledge of the landscape and of design
she offers an excellent understanding for performing onsite surveys
and imagery.
Building on her years
studying at Exeter University with Brian Harley and William Ravenhill,
Amanda spent several years in museums and archaeology and then
4 years as Map Curator at The University of Sussex before the
call of the wide outdoors led to a career shift and training as
a Landscape Architect at the University of Greenwich.
Fourteen years of
working in a firm of landscape architects, on a mixture of large
infrastructure schemes, roads, historic parks and also World Heritage
Sites helped to increase the diversity of Amanda's experience
and interests. Key projects included The Good Roads Guide, the
National Map of England (later called the Joint Map of England)
and also as the graphic designer for the successful Nomination
Document for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew World Heritage Site
application.
