James embarked on his landscape journey as a Garden Design student at KLC School of Design, located at Chelsea Harbour & Hampton Court Palace. Right from the outset, James harboured the ambition to establish his own company. He honed his craft by working with leading industry firms and undergoing numerous landscape courses before founding the company you see today. Initially working as a designer, James encountered difficulty in finding landscapers to bring his designs to life. Hence, he initiated Hortus Forma to assist fellow designers in realising their projects precisely as envisioned.
