Land really is the best art.

Dan established DAC Landscape Architecture in November 2023. His career in private practice began after completing his degree and postgraduate studies at Manchester Metropolitan University, and most recently included a Director role at a Manchester practice.

He has over 15 years of experience in the industry, with extensive work on residential and retirement living schemes, and across health care, public realm, retail, distribution centres and private gardens.

Away from work, Dan is an avid Bolton Wanderers fan, a keen runner and golfer, and enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Sukanya joined DAC Landscape Architecture in August 2026, following the completion of her studies at the University of Nottingham. With a background in Architecture, she is particularly interested in placemaking, community-driven design and the stories that shape the identity of a place.

Her approach to design is influenced by culture, memory and narrative. Having trained in Indian Classical Music for 14 years and with a love for story-driven games, she often draws inspiration from rhythm, atmosphere and storytelling when thinking about spatial design.

Kavya joined DAC Landscape Architecture in October 2026, following the completion of her Master’s in Landscape Architecture at the Manchester School of Architecture. With a background in Architecture, she is interested in placemaking, ecological design and creating meaningful connections between people and the landscapes around them.

Her approach to design is informed by a curiosity for the relationship between people, nature and the layered histories of a place. She is particularly interested in how landscape architecture can respond to local character, support biodiversity and create resilient, inclusive environments. Outside of work, Kavya enjoys expressing her creativity through sketching and painting, experimenting in the kitchen, and discovering new places, cultures and experiences.
