Isa Hendry Eaton

Isa Bird, a Santa Barbara native, graduated from Yale University with a degree in Latin American Studies and minor in Environmental Studies. After a decade working in the San Francisco Bay Area in the fields of graphic design and letterpress, she returned to her hometown of Santa Barbara. A child of two Mountain Drive artists, Isa began her design and horticultural education by playing in her parents’ ceramics studio, learning native plant names on Santa Barbara's hiking trails and renovating several houses and gardens along the way.

After studying horticulture and landscape design at Santa Barbara City College, the transition from Graphic Design to Landscape Design was fluid – working with similar elements of color, composition, and form. Isa is deeply influenced by the wild, natural spaces in California, the crisp, colorful Santa Barbara aesthetic and her extensive travel throughout Latin America and Southeast Asia. Isa and her design team strive to create meaningful, imaginative designs that continually exceed her clients’ expectations.

Nicknamed Bird (her Great-Grandmother’s family name), Isa Bird lives in Santa Barbara with her husband, three children and miniature poodle.

Isa’s work has been featured in Better Homes and Gardens, HGTV Magazine, Garden Design Magazine, Santa Barbara Magazine, and Edible Magazine.
