Bio
Originally from the Netherlands, Jeroen obtained his degree in Landscape Architecture at the Erasmus Hogeschool Brussels. After graduating, Jeroen founded his own Landscape Design firm, Pit!, through which he was able to make a name for himself in the Netherlands and Belgium, designing and building private residential gardens for large-scale countryside estates and more intimate city spaces.
After five years running his firm, Jeroen felt it was time to expand his horizons. Intrigued and inspired by the beautiful gardens of the English Countryside, he moved to London, where he worked for the renowned Landscape Architect, Tom Stuart-Smith. Gaining further experience in the management of large, private residential projects in the UK and Europe, during the five years at Tom Stuart-Smith studio, Jeroen was able to develop his planting knowledge and expertise in historical estates.
During a trip to Northern California with his wife, Jeroen fell in love with the natural beauty this corner of the world has to offer. Inspired by the Sierra, Redwood groves, and dynamic coastline, the couple moved to San Francisco in early 2017.
Upon arriving in the US, Jeroen began working for Elizabeth Everdell Garden Design, a well-known landscape designer in the Bay Area. Working alongside Elizabeth Everdell for nearly three years, Jeroen managed a variety of projects in San Francisco, Atherton, Lake Tahoe, Seattle, and New York City. The first garden Jeroen designed in California won the CLCA 1st place award for Large Residential Estate.
After living and working in California for more than three years, Jeroen decided to return to the Netherlands with his young family. Almost immediately after arrival, Jeroen started working as an Associate and planting expert at DELVA, a renowned Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture firm in Amsterdam.
Jeroen's positive feedback and enthusiasm from clients and colleagues motivated him to start his own studio.
At Studio Jacobs, Jeroen hopes to create gardens that are a reflection of his European heritage, expertise, and, most of all, his passion for the natural world.
