Is trained in Landscape Design by NYBG and earned a bachelor degree in Architecture by the National University of Colombia.

Zamira grew up in the Colombian Andes, where the land is never flat and never finished. Cloud forest folding into coffee terraces, fog that erases the mountains most mornings and gives them back by noon. Before she understood design, she understood that a landscape is never a fixed thing. It moves, it weathers, it insists on its own logic.

She came to gardens through architecture, always trying to fold nature back into the built space, working the dilute limit between inside and outside until it blurs, and she has never quite let go of either discipline. Materializing space teaches you structure, sequence, the discipline of a plan; a garden accepts that structure and then grows past it. The spaces she is drawn to hold both: a clear architectural bone, and a planting scheme that's allowed to get a little unruly, a little more itself, with time.

There's a craft to settling into a space so a garden feels inevitable rather than imposed. What reads as effortless is rarely simple, it's the outcome of a disciplined process, the same attention to detail she carries from architecture, where every measurement and material choice has to earn its place. That discipline is what meets the genius loci: reading what a site already holds, then shaping something that stays rooted in its surroundings while still telling the story of the people who'll live in it.
