  • Jaime’s passion for the natural world stems from her upbringing on her family’s Missouri farm, where hard work and trust shaped her values. As the founder of Circle V Landscape Architecture, she is known for thoughtful design, collaboration, and exceeding client expectations. A perfectionist by nature, she thrives on turning challenges into opportunities, believing every landscape has the power to make a positive impact. Outside of work, Jaime enjoys hiking with her family, gardening with her kids, and giving back through volunteer work with organizations like Austin Angels and Urban Roots.

    • Favorite plant? I always gravitate toward truly native plants—we need to embrace wildscaped landscapes to minimize water use and maintenance.

    • Childhood memory that inspired your love for landscapes? Tasting the sweet nectar hidden at the base of clover flower petals.

    • Dream project? Designing a fully native and self-sustaining landscape.

    • If you weren’t a landscape architect, what would you be? Working in a greenhouse propagating plants.

    • One tool you can’t work without? A good sketchbook—ideas always start on paper.

    • Perfect way to unwind? A glass of wine and a good movie with my husband and kids
