I'm Claire Thirlwall, director of landscape architecture practice Thirlwall Associates. 

I specialise in river restoration and other water management projects but I also work on more traditional landscape architecture projects.

I am a keen user of social media in my business and it is an integral part of how I communicate with clients, colleagues and peers.  I never cease to be amazed at the help and support I receive from the virtual community that I am lucky enough to be part of.

You are very welcome to follow me on Twitter

Thirlwall Associates has a Facebook Page where you can become a friend.

I am always happy to connect with people I know on LinkedIn - my profile page is here.

I always look at the profile of everyone who follows me but I don't automatically follow new followers as I limit the number of people I follow to a level that I can realistically manage. 

I check Twitter regularly but I don't read every single tweet so if you want to make sure I see a tweet include @Thirlwall_Assoc in your tweet.

If you are interested in my work or you have a project you'd like to talk about please get in touch and let me know how I can help.

My business website is www.thirlwall-associates.co.uk and you can find my blog here
