I moved from the Pine Barrens of South Jersey to Brooklyn in 2009. After a few years in the city I started a solo gardening business and worked gardens all over the borough.
Gardening led me to herbalism, then to growing food, then to traditional systems of medicine: Chinese and Ayurvedic. I went to herb school, apprenticed, and worked at an herb shop. In 2015 I opened Radicle Herb Shop, an apothecary and teaching space in Brooklyn built around people and plants.
The shop closed in 2023 and I moved into software: RadicleHerbal, an app for herbalists, then operations systems for small businesses, then iOS development.
Today I work in both worlds. RadicleTerra designs and builds gardens. RadQode builds operations software for landscape designers and contractors.
Interactive music learning. Tunings, scales, chords, and theory you can see and hear across instruments.
→Web and iOS development. Operations systems and automation for small businesses and contractors.
→Botanical education for iOS. Plant identification, conservation tracking, United Plant Savers data, and field journaling.
→Wilderness education. Illustrated field manuals, trail skills, gear guides, and wild-skill study, across app and in-person events.
→Landscape design and ecological planting. Residential garden builds and site-specific design work.
→“An incredible resource for anyone drawn to herbalism. Chris is deeply knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about helping people understand plants.”Community Review

Garden, operations system, or app. Every project starts with a conversation.
