Shanelle Rabichev is a Seattle-based garden designer with a passion for creating stunning, naturalistic gardens that feel like they’ve always belonged. With over 10 years of experience, Shanelle has mastered the art of blending traditional charm with modern flair, mixing edible and ornamental plants in a way that’s as practical as it is beautiful. Her background in creative advertising helps her think outside the garden box, while her travels to world-class gardens—like Lurie Garden in Chicago and The High Line in New York—keep her designs fresh and inspired.

Shanelle and her husband, Eugene, built their own custom home in 2022, working with home builder Carlisle Construction. She has a deep understanding and compassion for anyone building their dream home and managing the complexity of requirements, permitting and engineering.

Shanelle’s work draws on the influence of garden legends like Piet Oudolf and Karl Forester, bringing a dreamy, ethereal vibe to the Pacific Northwest. From lakefront estates to cozy family homes, Shanelle’s sustainable, climate-friendly designs make every garden feel like a little slice of paradise.
