danée Lambourne

Creative Director | LANDSCAPE BUILD MANAGER | Founder

A seasoned expert in white-glove client services, Danée's background is steeped in the practice of marketing and branding, user experience, portfolio management, and design and horticulture. A journey that has formed the "secret sauce" that shapes Eden's contributions in the Design/Build domain.
Raised amidst British Columbia's natural splendor, Danée developed a deep appreciation for nature's beauty, sustenance, and therapeutic qualities. From the Fraser Valley to Vancouver Island in her early 20s, she immersed herself in local produce, nursery production, and community life.
Leaning into her business studies, Danée's love for outdoor living, plants, and construction spurred her onward. Recognized for her design execution and adept management of construction projects, she founded Inventing Eden Landscapes, now integral to our holistic-approach division. Subsequently, she launched the premier agency EDEN Projects Ltd., specializing in Bespoke Outdoor Living Space Design and Build.
With over two decades of experience shaping landscapes on BC's West Coast, Danée brings top-tier craftsmanship, suppliers, and affiliates. Her work speaks to her expertise in navigating challenging sites, from access and congestion issues to indigenous and heritage designations. Be there extreme grades, unwanted guests, access or exposure complexities, Danée’s team will bring a thoughtful approach with unwavering dedication.
Fueled by her profound passion for the natural world, Danée's deepest devotion lies in fostering connections. Pivoting gracefully from ‘client advocate’ to ‘Foreman’, she leads with confidence and vision, emphasizing collaboration, recognizing the contributions of her fellow trade partners and creators. As she aptly puts it, - "We stand on the shoulders of giants. *Without our trades community, we’re simply dreamers.*“
