Hello there! We love people, gardens and doing good. Porter Designs was planted in a firm foundation of an unstoppable passion to help the communities around us. We thrive from our passion of helping people by listening and getting to know their needs for life in the landscape.
\n\n
\n\nWhere did our unstoppable passion to help communities come from ? Why ‘set up shop’ ?
\n\n
\n\nEva always had a passion to help communities with her skills that only a Landscape Architect could do. With no employment in sight after graduating due to the construction industry being slow after the 2008 GFC, her unstoppable passion led Eva to employ herself. Porter Designs continues to grow with its focus on helping people, this is evident with our already impressive list of projects and clients.
\n\n
\n\nWe help communities from their backyards at home to the parklands & streetscapes in regional towns. Turning backyards from wastelands of expansive lawns to usable spaces, shifting people from the sofa with the telly to a life outdoors. In regional towns we gather community together to workshop ideas to create parklands & streetscapes to boost economic development and recreational aspirations.
\n\n\n\n
We also help and support communities outside of our project work, one of the ways we do this is by our involvement in schools. In schools we do motivational presentations and in class support such as sitting on their ‘Shark Tank’ panel for business classes.
\n\n
\n\nWe love the results from helping people, it makes them smile and leaves us with a massive smile too! Making a difference is what we are all about.

She has experience working on a variety of project styles and scales from high profile clientele residential gardens to open space master plans. Eva has designed landscapes broadly across Queensland from as far north as Yeppoon, west into Charleville and south to the Gold Coast.
\n\n\n\n
When designing landscapes she combines her knowledge of plants with innovative design practices, creating gardens that are not only functional but full of imagination. To perfect her skills in creating an outdoor room Eva also studied Interior design. The designer’s creative flair extends past the drawing board and onto the canvas as a local artist with works on display and sold in local cafe’s and art exhibitions.
\n\n\n\n
Eva is always willing to stop and listen when communicating with a diverse range of clients. She has worked alongside numerous Queensland and Tasmanian practices including; Boss Gardenscapes, Zen Landscaping Queensland, Rounsefell Design, Active Urban, O2 Landscape Architects, Arno King Landscape Architects, Savage Consulting, Wolter Consulting Group, Yards Landscaping, Yurrah, PDT Architects, Meter, Andrew Gold Landscape Architects, Impact Blue and Cardno Chenoweth.
